After all our adventures in anesthesiology, I couldn?t wait to bring Lil Miss Wagon home and start our new life as a family of four. Well, six! if you are the type to count furbabies. ;) We did not have Wagon Jr. come to visit us in the hospital after Lil Miss Wagon was born. We didn?t want to take the risk of him crying when he had to leave. We figured we would just introduce them when we came home after our hospital stay.
So how do you introduce a new baby to a toddler and two dogs? Well, here?s how we did it.
Speaking of the fuzzy ones, the very first thing we did was drop a hat and socks that Lil Miss Wagon had worn in the hospital onto the dog bed so that the Waggin? Wagons could take a sniff and become familiar with the new baby smell.
Mmm?. baby.
Then we greeted Wagon Jr. and showed him the present Lil Miss Wagon had brought for him from the hospital. And joy of all joys, it was a brand new red guitar. It?s actually a plastic ukelele, but he?s just so thrilled that it has actual strings rather than buttons and digital music coming out of it.
Baby Sister brought me a red guitar!
Already rockin? out. Dogs make a great audience.
Pretty soon Wagon Jr. started serenading his baby sister with the very guitar she gave him. Pretty sweet deal.
Verrrry carefully perching on the edge of her bouncy chair and singing her a song.
A few days after we came home, Wagon Jr. asked to hold his baby sister. So he very obediently sat on the couch and held his hands out.
We placed Lil Miss Wagon into his arms (holding her at the same time), and he stroked her cheek.
Then he gave her a kiss.
Then he sang her the Korean lullabye his grandma sings to him when she puts him to bed, then immediately shouted ?good night!? and practically threw her out of his arms. It was probably a good idea for me to be holding her underneath his hands the entire time.
How did you introduce your new little one to the family?
