Our First Baby Shower!

This year, Cinco de Mayo was celebrated with diapers and baby bottles rather than chimichangas and margaritas! We had our baby shower at Gary's school on May 5th. The 3rd grade team did such a great job decorating and putting on the shower! We got lots of gift cards (always handy pre- and post-baby) as well as the boppy seat, playtime gym/mat, and lots of onesies, burp cloths, and crib bedding. One of the cutest things we got, though, was advice for the mommy and daddy-to-be from all the 3rd graders (written on cut-outs of butterflies, bunnies, and flowers). We had a blast reading them over dinner after we got home. Some of our favorites include "take a break from teaching and spend time with Madison ... you wouldn't want a baby that doesn't know its father!", "do not push the child's stomach after feeding her", "whenever Madison cries, give her a lollipop", "give your daughter $$cash$$", "before bedtime teach your child how to go to the bathroom - trust me, I have a 6 year old brother that doesn't know how to go" and, our personal favorites - Gary's: "when it comes, don't scream" Becky's: "Mr. Davis: When you have the baby, listen to Mrs. Davis". Thank you to the wonderful 3rd grade team at Gilchrist for making our first shower for Madison a memorable one!! We'll post pictures soon!
