While stuck in traffic today, I got to hear some really great songs-- thanks Alt XM 47! I tried to keep them straight n my head, but then i just busted out a pen and wrote on my hand. (I also wrote down my grocery list so my hand is very ... wordy.)
anyways, so 'modern man' got me thinking about a book that i heard about in my literacy class. It's a storybook about a boy who wanted a doll. His brother teased him, his dad bought him a basketball + net, train set, etc. And he liked those toys, but he still wanted a doll- to hug and hold, take care of, and put to bed at night. His grandma bought him one, and his father had a fit. But she told him that he needs that doll to love and take care of, so that when he grows up he will be a great father who loves and takes care of his children, hugs and holds them, and puts them to bed at night.
I remember the boys at my daycare holding + hugging, taking care of, and putting to bed the baby dolls. They were just one year old, but were already practicing something that didn't need to be taught: love.
so. would you give your son a doll? will we give bebe chikn one? why not?
before i end. must write down songs that i've been listening to lately. if nothing else, so I can download them later. :)

announcing it to the world...
I'm actually kind of nervous as I type this...
I'm supposed to 'announce' our little bebe chikn to FB tonight.... now that we are over the 1st trimester. We'll see... might put if off yet another day. :)
I titled this "raising bebe chikn" because 1)i'm literally growing a little bebe chikn! and 2) i feel like this experience is making me grow up a bit, too. i remember thinking up 'bebechikn' as my AIM name/email/etc. back during my senior year in HIGH SCHOOL. how times have changed... (though the boy <3 hasn't. :)) and It makes me think of my friend who calls me chikn. <3
We went to get an ultrasound today... it was the most amazing thing watching bebe chikn move around! It was SO unreal. I never experienced something like that before. "He" would kick and move his hands around-- so quickly & sudden! "He" started off facing down and the ultrasound person (tech. name is...?) jiggle the belly to get him to flip over. So we got to watch him literally roll over. Saw him look directly at us!
Oh... and I'm thinking of our bebechikn will be a rooster... i've now had 3 dreams that it's a BOY. Last night's was the most vivid--- i even named him in the dream! crrrr-azzzzy.
that's all for now. i'm super happy to have seen bebechikn move .. lets me know he's okay in there.
