I have been thinking about it all for a few weeks but wasn't planning on doing anything for a few weeks but Chris and I heard some great advice during out child birth class for second time parents last week. They suggest to not wait until the baby arrives to make changes. If your toddler doesn't like change they can associate the changes with the new baby and blame the baby. But if you change beforehand they don't connect the two things and it just seems that their new sibling just happens to fit in to the family as is. So we are looking into re-arranging the room and also bringing out the second car seat from this weekend. Sure it is early but I think it will be worth it.
We are also hoping to get a life like baby doll to hold and allow Ty to interact with to see how he reacts to it and the attention we give it. I really think Ty is a pretty strong and smart kid so I'm not too worried but you never know.
