My friend just made me a whole bag of little treats for Lily to have after the new baby is born. She took brown paper lunch bags and put snacks, stickers crayons inside. Then she sealed them with a sticker. So each bag will be like a special surprise. I'm going to put a few within reach for L each day so she can get one herself if she wants a snack and a treat. I thought it was such a good idea! I also think it would be a good gift to bring to a baby shower.
We also bought a boy baby doll for the new baby to "give" Lil and a little present from mommy and daddy for each of the three nights I'll be at the hospital (books, puzzle, craft).
I have it on my list too i need to get something from the baby for Luke. I did buy the daniel tiger book the new baby is here but that's it so far. Maybe duplos or something? I got him a babydoll a few months ago
In desperation one day I gave H1 a sheet of gel window clings. She played for an hour taking them off, moving them from doors and windows. Best dollar I ever spent. She begs for them every time we go to target.
I think I'll just pick up random stuff and wrap it and also look what I have in the closet- I always buy stuff and just shove it on the shelf! I would like to get him something more long term but I hate stuffed animals

I do that too, that's where I got all her little presents. I still have things from Christmas when amazon had all those big sales!
Maybe he would like a train or a puzzle with his name on it. Something that he could have for a long time.

I might attempt my craftiness and make him a big brother picture frame for him to put a picture of him and the baby in and keep on his shelf. I saw some on etsy and pinterest but nothing too exciting to buy
He is actually doing amazingly well. I was nervous because he is so attached to me. He wants to know where she is at all times. We are currently watching a lot of TV/apps on iPhone and he will always hold her hand or foot. We are just working on him being gentle.
