My first graders have been so sweet about the baby! They love to rub my belly and listen for the baby. They often tell me he is talking when they lay their head on my stomach:) With the help of our class mommies they threw me the sweetest baby shower, each child gave me a book that was special to them when they were little. They also wrote a book entitled, "Baby Advice With Love From 1D." Here are some of the tidbits of advice they gave me and Mr. Ben:
Dear Ms. Ruiter and Mr. Ben:
-Don't feed him hard stuff when he is young. If he has chubby cheeks you can pop them! Give him bedtime stories that come to life in his head. -Aaron
-Give him lots of toys and give him little jackets with bow ties on them and little socks. When you hold him cradle the head. He will feel more comfortable. -Barron
-Buy him a tie, it will look beautiful on him. He should be in bed early so he's not tired in the day. -Lindsey
-Feed your baby applesauce because he won't have any teeth. -Jimmy
-I hope you give him a snuggly animal and a baby sister. Make sure he gets everything he needs but not everything he wants because sometimes that isn't always good. -Clarissa
-I hope your baby likes living with you. -Chloe
-Never take your eyes off your baby. -Elliot
-When you're feeding the baby you have to put the spoon deep in his mouth, but not too deep. -Eliza
-Give him spicy food when he is 3 or 4. You should teach him how the calendar work when he is 2. -Alex
-Buy your baby a Michigan shirt and a Michigan hat! -Ben (his dad went to UM!)
-Give him a bath three times a day. He will get messy in the park and eating his food. Tickle him and he's gonna love it! He will giggle! -Morgan
-I think you should buy your baby a tuxedo. If he goes to a party he could be like the grown ups. -Laila
-I hope you bring your baby to school. You can give him a pacifier and dress him up really cute. -Matt
-I hope that you guys are good living together. -Cooper
-I know you're going to be a great mommy! -Nina
