Baby Shower #2

So, I was spoiled and showered once again with blessings and love. A group of moms in my class decided they want to host a baby shower at school for me with all the kids. It was SUCH a special event!
Lots of moms showed up and the kids were so excited to surprise me!

Each child decorated a portion of that banner in art class so that it was a surprise for me. Here are two pieces of the banner that brought a huge smile to my face. So funny!

The shower started with prayer time. The kid's prayed for myself and baby boy Klump and their words and thoughts were just precious.

"Please help it not to hurt too bad when the baby comes out." "Please help the baby to be normal." "Please make the baby cute." "Thank you for the blessing of a baby and help Mrs. Klump to be a good mom." "Help her not to miss us too much."

After prayer time, it was time to eat:

After eating, we played a game. The kids had to guess how many toilet paper squares it would take to wrap around my tummy! Let's just say I was glad to see most of them giving "reasonable estimates" :)

Then they surprised me with a 'Baby Wise' book written by them. They each had created a page for me. It is chocked full of great advice from them. So fun to read!! They each stood up at the shower and told me one piece of advice that they had written in the book. (The prompts were....as a mom you should ALWAYS OR as a mom you should never, when the baby is crying, etc.)

"Never leave the baby without a diaper on." "When the baby is tired, give it sleeping potion." "Never take the baby to the supermarket until he is a toddler." "Never throw the baby." "Never read him monster stories." "Always take care of the baby with the word of God."

After the advice session, it was time to open the gifts. The kids were so excited and wanted to know what each gift was and what it was for (which at times, was quite awkward)

"Oh, these are just bags that hold milk for the baby." (as the box says BREAST MILK BAGS real big)

We came home and were able to check almost EVERYTHING off our list. What a blessing!

After opening all the gifts, I listened to their suggestions of baby names and also read them a book (that someone had gotten for me).

WHAT A SWEET AND SPECIAL MEMORY...and what a GREAT group of KIDS!

One of my favorite pictures from the party was taken of myself and a few of my students' younger siblings:

"I love your baby Mrs. Klump" (me too girls, me too!)
