How to be a big sister

Tonight we head to our baby-delivering hospital for a tour and a talk. It is not for us though, but for our daughter. It is a great-sounding program designed to get a child (age three or older) comfortable with the hospital, the baby nursery and their pending big sister-dom. I […]
