My son is 3 1/2, and I'm due in December to have a boy. My hubby and I are keeping him involved and he loves to feel his brother kick. My question is, besides beefing him up about being a big helper and big brother, what can we do to prepare him for the new arrival. I've told him that I'm going to need alot of help from him, changing diapers and feeding the baby and singing songs to him, and he seems excited, but then he doesn't want the baby to live with us. Is there anything I can do to help prepare him?

I also have 2 boys. Right before the baby arrived, I got a book called
"Barfburger Baby, I was here first!"
A very cute book about a 5 y/o boy who gets a new baby brother. My son LOVED it!
