Baby Book

Olivia's teacher is getting ready to go on maternity leave next week. She'll be back in March, and plans to stay active with lesson planning during her leave. The teacher's assistant will still be in the classroom, so a level of continuity will be maintained for the kids. We are planning a small shower for her on Friday, and one of the gifts is a scrapbook that I am putting together from her students. Each child was given several writing prompts from which to choose, (When I was a baby I liked... or The best thing to do if a baby is crying is... or If babies could talk they would say...). Today I took pictures of each of them holding a babydoll which will go on their page along with their sage advice. In addition to her advice to give a baby lots of love, Olivia commented that she thinks her teacher's new baby will be very cute. I'm sure he will be too, but not as cute as my sweet girl!
