Blueberries

Good morning, everyone :)

Some trees across the street from us are now starting to show some green! I think part of me may have forgotten how awesome it is to see everything growing :) (I could also insert some comment here about my stomach continually growing.... !!)

So, yesterday, I had a class of 5th graders - 10 years old. There were two boys who were already going to be written up for being disrespectful, then I heard 'grumble, grumble, blueberry'. Well! I was wearing a blue shirt, and so i had a feeling they were talking about me! I kept them after class, and I was indeed correct - the student honestly said, "Well, I was just telling him that your stomach looked like a giant blueberry!". I was laughing a little bit on the inside, so I just said something like, "I know it's getting bigger, but it's really not appropriate to talk about your teacher that way during class". And they still got written up for other offenses.

On a related note, my husband thought it was a pretty good analogy.... boys!!! It's okay though - it is just getting so big!

The baby is not so much kicking anymore as just kind of moving around in there - but in ways that I can definitely feel it!! The most active time for baby was of course last night when I was going to sleep - I sure hope baby's days and nights aren't mixed up!!

Have a great day everyone - Happy Earth Day!
Love
Laura
