My (30M) little half brother (8M) is coming to visit me this weekend, and I’m super excited. It’ll be the first time we’ll be hanging out without our dad. This weekend is super important to me and I just want to make sure I’m prepared— both in terms of fun things for us to do, and making sure I’m responsible for him. Could y’all let me know if I’m forgetting anything?
Responsibilities first: already ensured he doesn’t havent any dietary restrictions, I’ve got his doctor’s info in case of emergency, I’m stocked up on children’s first aid stuff. The place is (relatively) childproof, and he’s already met my cat and knows to be gentle with her. Is there anything else I should prepare or ask my dad about?
Activities: he loves soccer, so I got myself new cleats and ball for us to play; we’re gonna watch the Bad Guys 2 (he’s read all the books); science museum; the new public pool by my house; and I got a bunch of drawing journals and colored pencils since he loves art. Any other suggestions?
I’m hoping this will be the first of many visits, so any other tips folks might have for me would be really appreciated. Thanks!

You seem well prepared. Only thing I can suggest is a ready made pizza crust and all the toppings so you can make the pizza together for dinner. And if you have Prime, order a Batman or Spiderman pillow case for his bed. Possibly superhero pajamas, or shorts & t-shirt for sleeping.
Sounds like you will have a lot of fun!
You might ask about bed time routine. Sometimes kids his age get cranky when they are tired, with all the activities you have planned you might be prepared for that. Have a great weekend with your brother!
