Preparing a young child for a new baby(s) in the home?

wow, you're going to go out with him by yourself? what about your SCHEDULE!!!!!!! if I were you, I'd either (a) leave him alone to babbysit teh two babbies or (b) do just what you said you'd do. I was just turned 4 when my sister was born and it was hard. I have a distinct memory of climbing into her crib and wanting to be the baby. if you have special days, that helps a lot. ask him to help out. I don't know if you'd be against this because he's a boy, but my parents bought me a baby doll so that I could take care of it and I loved doing that. I've also seen where the new babies give the older child a gift (a toy that he really wants or something you take him to pick out himself) as a present to the older brother or sister. you could make a really big deal out of it and say that the twins picked it out especially for him because they knew he'd love it and they love him and all that. hope I helped, seth.
