It's Almost Miller Time!

Starting in about the middle of October we'd ask Wilson, "what time is it about to be?" and he'd answer in a very quiet whisper (almost as if it were said out loud it wouldn't happen) "it's almost my birthday!"

"Then what time is it going to be?"

"Halloween time!"

"Then what time is it going to be?"

"Thanksgiving time!"

"Then what time is it going to be?"

(return to the hushed tone- we'd hate to jinx this one either) "It's go be Chrismas time!" (his pronunciation)

Well, Wilson, "Then what time will it be?"

"IT'S GO BE MILLER-TIME!"

And so, now here we are. 3rd birthday behind us, costume made and not worn, turkey eaten, and a few sparkly things and manger scenes are starting to find their way out of boxes, so, Miller time must be upon us! We have almost gotten her room together and last night Wilson went to his big brother class at the hospital. Following are a few pictures of our preparation for Miller time!

Everyone brought a doll or stuffed animal to practice with- Wilson chose Rocco, the dog.

Phil's doing quite nicely with that bottle!
Here they are learning how to diaper a baby. I love that Dad is intently watching the instructor, like he's never done it before!
Wilson thought Rocco in a diaper was hilarious
Next, they got to try on doctor clothes- well Wilson graciously let Daddy play with his.


Here they are looking at all the new babies- 10 were born yesterday!

Some of the Christmas decorations at the hospital- they had a life size nativity set up

And . . . the highlight of the evening, ice cream in the lobby of the hospital
(should you come to visit while we're there- you'll know where to find Wilson!)
