Baby dolls for older siblings?
DS has been totally interested in the baby dolls at school, especially since he knew he'd have a baby sister. I was thinking of getting him one for home, with a little bed he can set up and have in his room, and a few basic accessories so he can "take care" of his baby too. Good idea/bad idea to help him adjust a little to the new baby?
Re: Baby dolls for older siblings?
I'd do it! DS has a baby doll. He LOVES that thing. He frequently plays with it and calls it by one of the girls names. I think it has really helped with his social skills in general (like sharing). He has an infant car seat for her. The girls each have strollers for their dolls and C is getting a pack and play for hers for Christmas. They love all the accessories.
ETA: DS has developed great baby skills since he got his doll too. He has been around several newborns. He is gentle, knows not to touch their face, etc. I definitely think the doll has helped.
I totally got DS a doll house for Christmas
N got one last year. Then his Borat dad came over and, when N excitedly showed it to him, told him he couldn't play with it because it was for girls and made him cry.
I'm all for it for boys and girls - I just wasn't sure if it would be like "too much baby," all at once, you know what I mean?
wonderred- that is so, so mean. DS loves to have his nails painted if I do mine at home and has a few colors of his own - like wacky orange, etc. BFD. He's just turning 4. His dad said the same thing to him about nail polish and made him cry. Jerks.
What a douchebag! Dolls are awesome! DS has an imaginary friend named Baby. Sometimes he pushes her around in C's doll stroller. Lol. It's so cute and has really helped his social skills! He loves to share with Baby.
I got Lydia a baby doll "from Anna" when Anna was born.
Lydia couldn't care less about it, just like she couldn't care less about her baby sister...
I'm still somewhat convinced that we were married to the same man. N also loves to have his toe nails painted and it drives his dad nuts. He'll just love that I giving N purple, blue, and green nail polish in his stocking this year.

Ha - you know, with XH's penchant for dishonesty, it totally wouldn't surprise me if he had a total alternate identity going on, that included a different nationality and a whole separate family.
