After taking Audrey to” Becoming a Big Sister” class, we were given a homework book to complete together. The following day Audrey insisted on doing her homework. We worked non-stop for an hour. I know that I will probably lose the book or end up throwing it out, so I wanted to remember some of my favorite answers and to be able to share them with her when she is older.
Q: How did you feel the very first time you learned that you were going to get a baby brother or sister?
A: Happy and Excited. I knew I would be a good sister.
Q: What do you want to know about your new brother or sister?
A: I wanted to know what a nibble was, but now I know it is the thing that goes on top of the bottle. But I know that now, so I want to know will it throw up on me?
Q: What would you like to share with you new brother or sister?
Stuffed Animals – A: everyone
Board Games- A: every game
Books- A: every book
Q: Would names would you like for the baby?
A: Girls- Ella, Mella
A: Boys- Bella, Crisp
Q: What are some silly names you might call the baby?
A: cockertell, grinst
Q: What will your family look like when the baby comes?

Crisp is a pretty great name! This is a really cute keepsake and Audrey is going to find hilarious as she grows up. Love it!

Oh my God, this is hilarious! And really precious at the same time. I did keep like a 10 ten list of names from Matthew for the baby. His number one choice was Matthew, then Cookie, Oscar, and Tornado. That’s the only thing I have from that special time before the new baby mixed everything up in the best way. I just love the illustration! What’s Grinst?

Such a cute slice! I love the responses from Audrey! Especially, “I wanted to know what a nibble was, but now I know it is the thing that goes on top of the bottle. But I know that now, so I want to know will it throw up on me?”- the things that little ones fixate on!!!! So cute!!! I have a feeling she is going to be a great big sister and a great helper!

I LOVE that you put this in electronic form so she will have it later. She is a hoot! Love her confidence ” I knew I would be a good sister.” So funny that she wanted to know what a “nibble” is. Laughing at the name choices – Ella, Mella, Bella, and Crisp. So creative, so poem-y. 🙂
