Yesterday Colin attended a Big Brother class at the hospital. He was very good and listened carefully during the class. Here he is practicing changing a diaper. Given that he immediately flipped the baby face down on the table and started scrubbing her butt frantically with a handful of wipes, it's safe to say he won't have responsibility for that task for awhile.
And practicing holding the baby (this is pretty much exactly the face I expect to see when she's here)
When we arrived, Colin asked the teacher if "this was the hospital?" and "where are the babies?" He was thrilled to get a tour of the L&D unit, including seeing a brand new newborn, pushing the buttons to make the beds go up and down, and seeing the nursery (where he spent a few nights a few years ago). It was SO strange to be back on that floor with Colin, since it seems like yesterday we walked out of there with him! I don't know how much of the class he will retain, but hopefully being familiar with the setting will at least help when he comes to visit Mommy and The Baby Sister next month.
