Christmas in July

It feels like Christmas for me–at least the part about getting a really cool present. I started teaching another Bradley series last week. Not sure what we were thinking in scheduling classes with a not-quite two month old, but it’s too late now. I have five couples attending, which is a completely different experience from last time. They are a fun bunch, and since they are paying me a little bit, I’ve been ordering lots of new teaching aids.

I was most excited about this one. Now I just need to find a baby doll with a head that fits through there easily. Who wants to go to Toys R Us with me to find one? I’ll bring the pelvis!

Josiah decided to pretend “the bones” was also a birthday cake and kept singing “Happy Birthday” and pretending to blow out candles. Right…

I also ordered The Business of Being Born DVD to show bits of in class. Any random reader know of a tame, but good birth video to show in class?

    Oh my, that is hilarious. I am very familiar with that pelvis after seeing it weekly in our class. :) Very helpful demonstration tool might I add…
    Have you heard of the National Geographic Video on the baby during gestation? I don’t know if it has any births, but I have heard it is an amazing video. I am going to preview it this week at the pregnancy center and I will let you know.
