we bought my son a doll and let him hold it and care for it calling it baby brother. once the baby came we talked alot about how he had a turn being a baby and now in was brother's turn. we looked at baby pictures he helped with the baby getting diapers rocking him singing to him. someone also told me if they are both crying tend to the older one first because he will remember and the baby won't. mine are 7 mo and 3 yo and the really enjoy each other it's quite beautiful.

I made the impending birth all about her, which, to a 2.5 yo, is the only way they can relate to it; I made it into a "sister day". I kept telling her that the day she becomes a big sister is a very special day, and celebrated it like a birthday, as it is the birth of her new role. We got a present and wrapped it. We instructed the caretaker to give it to her as soon as I went to the hospital and make much ado about her Big Sister Day. Worked like a charm. She has been great to DS since the minute she met him.
