Baby Noah

A couple of weeks ago our friends from church asked us to babysit their son Noah, which was great fun and a great opportunity for us to introduce a real baby to Kennon before our baby comes. We had such a good time, especially Kennon. Well, I started getting Kennon ready for the new baby to come about a month ago and he is very excited about it. I bought him a book, called "The New Baby" and it is one of his favorites. After reading the book, I usually ask him if he would like to have his own baby and he gets all excited and squeals raising his fists up in the air smiling. He also likes to show how much he loves his new baby by hugging and kissing mama's belly :). Well, when Noah came, Kennon ran to him hugged him and gave him a kiss too. It was so sweet and made me feel so good that he likes babies. Most of the evening I spent holding Noah and Kennon had no problem with that at all. He'd come, hug mom, look at Noah and run away to do his things. Since he did so well, it makes me feel good at this point at least :). And now Noah is his favorite baby. About a week after we had Noah, Kennon woke up one Sunday morning asking for Noah!!! I asked him if he would like to see Noah and Kennon got super excited. So, it was good that it was Sunday - about an hour later we got to see Noah. But ever since that experience with Noah, Kennon never misses any baby that we pass by in the street or the store. He points to him/her and says, "Baby." Of course, we still have some time to keep getting Kennon ready for the new baby, but at least I think we are on the right track, especially with Noah's help!
