As many of you know, I am a teacher. I teach first grade and love it (even on those tough days). I waited a while to tell my kiddos about the baby because I knew they would have a lot of questions and wouldn't really understand everything. Yesterday, I decided it was time to tell them. After all, I'm getting bigger and sooner or later they are going to wonder why Mrs. Hoyle is getting so fat!
I read a "Little Critter" book about a new baby before I told them my news. I thought maybe some of them would catch on and figure it out, but not one single person did! I had them keep guessing as to why I would want to read that story and FINALLY someone figured it out. Then the questions began...but not as many as I thought. They wanted to know if it would be a boy or a girl and if I knew what the name would be.
My favorite part of the day was when they asked if I would bring her in for show and tell on Friday. They also think I should name her Rosie or Glenda...I'm not sure where they came up with either of those!
We decided that since she won't be here until about July, I would bring a picture in and show them when they are in second grade. We're leaving the name question alone for now...we have a name in mind, and sadly, it's not Rosie or Glenda.
