I gave this to my niece and she absolutely loved it. She's 6 and a half years old and just had a new baby sister. It is the coolest book. I filled in what I could with pictures and information. It has about 20 pages or so in the back for pictures with space for captioning. So cute! She calls it her "big sister book." :)Highlights:-Two page spread for little sibling and big sibling's ultrasounds-Easy prompts-Interview pre-birth about how they feel about their future sibling-Interview for day baby is born-Interview at 3-6 months-Interview at 9 months-Interview at 1 year-Section about the 1st Birthday party-Picture of me before you're born-Picture of family with the caption (See that bump - that's YOU!)-Page comparing first day pictures-Page comparing one-year old pictures-Star Chart Page. A list of stuff big sibling can help with that comes with tons of stars. If you help change a diaper, you earn a star.-MUCH more.
This is a fantastic keepsake and a great way to get the older child involved. It says it's recommended for ages 2-6 but I don't think it's limited to children that young. I handed it to my 7 year old and told her to fill it out honestly with her real feelings and the result is hilarious! I truly will treasure this book for years to come. I definitely recommend it!! If you have more than one kid, consider buying one for each of them to fill out, you wont regret it! I also bought the baby book from this series and it is wonderful as well.
I got this as a gift when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. My 3 1/2 year old daughter and I worked on it a bit before the baby was born and it was a great way to talk about the baby and help her get ready for her new baby sister. Now that her baby sister is here, it's a fun way to spend 1 on 1 time together and learn what she thinks about life with her new sister. It can be quite entertaining to hear how a 3 year old views everything. I'm so happy to have this book. I bought one for a friend who is expecting her 2nd.
This book is really fun and should prove to be interesting when our girls read it in years to come. My only criticism is that I wish I'd realized that we needed to start the book while I was still pregnant. Although it says it's for the first year, it's really for the pregnancy + the first year.
We are having a great time with my 3yr old filling it out as I am getting close to my due date!! He feels involved!
My 7 1/2 year old daughter loves these kind of "fill in the blank" keepsake books and when I found this one, I knew I had to purchase it for her. Her baby brother is due in about five weeks and she had a blast filling out the pages she could before he comes and she said she wants to take the book to the hospital when I have the baby, so she can fill out more pages. I highly recommend this book! My friend's daughter loved it too and she is age 10!
Very cute way of recording thoughts and memories before your new child is born. Unfortunately my 2 year old is a little too young to understand some of the questions in the book. I have found that I am filling out more of the information than she is. When I ask her the questions she comes up with random answers that don't make sense. This would be a great book for an older sibling!
This is a really simple and cute way to document an older sibling's reactions to their soon to be new little brother or sister.The majority of the book focuses only on the sibling and "Mommy's belly" so if you are a single parent or same-sex parent, the book is plenty generic. In addition, there are a few pages to document after the baby is born and then a bunch of blank pages for drawings or attaching pictures. Probably about 1/4 of the book is blank so that you can use them as you choose.If you have multiple older siblings, this book is not geared in that direction. You will have to have siblings choose a page and identify somehow who is completing each page.My son is 8 and will be able to easily complete the self-documented portions. That said, you may have to do the reading and writing for the portions that are "self-documented" if siblings are very young, however there are sticker completed sections and drawing sections as well. All said, it is very diverse for all ages and abilities.I highly encourage writing or having your child document exactly as they react to questions. It will be so much more refective of their age and personality down the road, so don't get hung up on having it looking perfect or on perfect spelling and grammar. Some of the questions my son answered were vague so I asked a bit more for detail and documented in the corner of the page to clarify his thoughts.
