Funny things that have happened so far:

My 3rd graders just watched my belly for about 3 minutes today while Baby H wiggled and wiggled. I was trying to read a book to them but they were not able to focus since there was so much movement so we just stopped and watched. Teachable moment: Babies can hear sounds and see light even when they are inside.

Kid Comments:

"Is there a baby in there?"

"Yes."

"Just one?"

"Yes."

"I don't think so. There are a few in there. You'll see Mrs. H."

"Who can tell me the special name of someone who writes a book?"

Raised Hand

"When babies come out they have to get cleaned out 'cause they're gross."

"Who knows what's in my belly?"

"A student"

"Who knows what's in my belly?"

"Probably a baby but maybe just body stuff"

"Who knows what's in my belly?"

"Your heart."

:) So true :)
