[quote=Anonymous]My husband's sister was 6 when my DH was born. She was so excited to have a baby brother but it's kind of funny because as a family, they have this huge collection of her art; she used to do all of these paintings as a young kid. she describes the birth of my DH (with whom she is very close) as: "that's when the art stopped."

Apparently, in complete seriousness, she stopped making art when my DH was born! So yeah, I guess a sibling's birth can be traumatic, even when you want it! :)

My son is really, really doted upon. Having a sibling will be a huge change for him. That's part of why we wanted to have him involved earlier. We have started explaining how our family will change. He was a pretty demanding baby and toddler and things really just started getting "easy" for us. We didn't feel ready to do this before now given how much he seemed to need us. Some families are so different; funny how the timing works out differently for everyone (including those families who don't really choose the timing! :) ). Anyway, I'm really glad that he is excited. Most of his little friends have or are getting new siblings so he is very excited.

That said, I never in my life thought I would be having the where do babies come from conversation at 3!!!! He asks some very specific questions!!! Man, we just answered them honestly, but now I just hope he doesn't tell all the other kids at soccer about how babies "get out" through the vagina, a fact which has completely and absolutely fascinated him and which he brings up 1-2 times a day. Yoy! [/quote]
