Sibling Tour

My friend Carrie and I are both due in April with our second (but we all know I am not making it to April) and we signed up the "Big Sisters" for the Sibling Tour at St. Joe's hospital so they can see where we will be when their younger sibling is born.

I am so glad she reminded me to sign up for this class and that we signed up for the class this week since I am having Hayden later this week. That was cutting it a little close. Also part of our procrastination was we were trying to decide which hospital we wanted to use since we could use either St. Joe's or The Med. After touring The Med, we just knew that we wanted to go back to St. Joe's for Hayden. 

There were only 3 kids on the tour yesterday: Taryne, Morgann and another little girl. Age group was about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2, so they were all close in age and all big sisters. 

Carrie and I tried to get a few pictures of the girls on the tour, but they were very interested in the tour and we sort of got the looks of "really? pictures?". Oh well. I did snap a few with my phone.

They were able to practice holding and feeding a baby. These dolls were HUGE!


All of us went to dinner afterward...I had been hungry for fried shrimp since breakfast and Carrie had been hungry for Red Lobster...so it all worked out! 

We tried to get both girls in the picture with us, but trying to keep 2 girls at this age still is almost impossible!
Overall, I think the tour was a success and  both girls learned a lot. They had a silly video toward the end of the tour and I was amazed at how quiet all 3 girls on the tour were and interested in the video.

Until next time...Gig'em!

School Field Trips

Both kids had field trips at the end of the year on the SAME day. Hayden's class visited a local pizza place, Dion's, and Taryne...
