I miss Mom and Dad. When will they get home from the

hospital?

After your sister is born. Then you’ll get

to meet her!

Hey, I need your help with a special

surprise.

I don’t know if I really want

a sister.

Let’s make a treat for your parents. What should we make?

Brownies are Mom’s favorite!

Really? 

Wow, you are a good assistant chef!

Eating brownies?

Probably! But you can also help by

being a kind big sister.

Later that night …

I have an idea for another

surprise.

I can’t wait until Mom and Dad AND the baby

come home!
