Everyone is so interested in the computerized baby! Read below...
They are looking at the "Baby think it over" doll (there's a pic of the baby in my photostream) , created to give teens a touch more insight into infant care. My dogs tip toed around, were very curious and showed great concern for this tiny screaming creature.
This cute little bundle of plastic woke my daughter NINE TIMES during the night. Each time she had to get up, change, feed, burp and rock the baby, as well as record the time, the care involved and what the care interrupted for the caretaker. Most of mydaughters care record said "My baby interrupted Fill in the blank__SLEEP___!" The baby woke my son twice. I, secure in the knowledge that I had done my bit for king & country, slept like a lamb. heehee
The next morning both of my children overslept, and were very hard to motivate for school. Lucky for them, I had pumpkin spice coffee and homemade banana bread on hand...made rolling out a little less painful. The baby interrupted the hair & makeup routine, and cried a blue streak as my daughter tried to pack her school bag and make her way out the door.
I think it would be VERY interesting to track the academic performance of the caretaker and their siblings on the following day. I'd like to see those results!
My daughter did an excellent job in caring for this baby...and really I had no doubt that she would. She also developed a deeper understanding of the amount of commitment in caring for a child.
