Big Sister in Training

Virginia has been so excited about the arrival of her baby brother Little Noodle the past few months.  When we heard that the hospital where he will be born offers a big brother/big sister class for older siblings, we knew she would have a great time participating.  So, we headed over to Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley one Saturday morning in August so she could get a tour and some big sister training.

Virginia was a natural, working hard to push the "babies" around the Labor & Deliver ward in their bassinet, trying out the adjustable beds in the recovery room, and diapering and feeding her baby.  She is going to be a natural!

This bed moves -- totally awesome!
