Both boys have already made it clear that they want the new baby to be a girl. We have told them that it might be a boy, and Kevin said "that would be okay, but I still want it to be a girl." Colin usually follows with something like "Me too." Regardless, I think both will be great big brothers.
For the bedtime routine, we all read a book and then Kevin goes to his room while Kevin or I sing to Colin. Lately, Kevin has been staying in the room to sing to Colin as well. He even rubs his back or pats his head very softly. He loves taking care of Colin.
The other night, Colin took on the big brother role as well. He mentioned the baby so I showed him my belly. He started rubbing and patting the belly very softly. I told him that pretty soon the baby will be able to hear us and the baby will know his voice. His little eyes lit up. Then he started singing ABC's to my belly while he was patting my belly.
How can you not love this?
