1.  Laundry!
2.  Bring a prepared meal (and one for the freezer)
3.  Take the new Big sibling for an afternoon of your undivided attention
4.  Clean the dishes
5.  Watch the baby for an hour while mom & dad sleep or take a walk alone
6.  Listen
7.  Bring a bag of groceries
8.  Make cookies with the new Big Sibling
9.  Offer to accompany mom on her first outing alone with the baby
10. Don't allow us to "entertain" you!
