There's always a bit of uncertainty when bringing home new babies. Especially if you already have a child. How is "Big Sister/Brother" going to react when you bring the baby home? Or in certain cases, babies (PLURAL).
We really tried to play it up with our oldest, and tried to point out as many babies as we could find when we were out in public. We also continually reminded her that we were going to need lots and lots of help once the new babies got here (boy was that ever an understatement).
And she's reacted fairly well, she's very interested in her sisters, if not just a TAD bit jealous. But the jealousy only really seems to come out in the most inopportune times.
The older ones like to play it as if they really don't know what they're doing, but they have a devious little plan in their young, but evil genius-type minds. And that plan leads to no good....Always no good.
