Today was Ben's first ever opportunity to share at Show and Tell. His first and only choice was to bring Lotta. When I brought Lotta into the classroom, some of the kids just could not keep their hands off of her, they were extremely excited to see a baby. Lotta, being a bit tired, did not take kindly to their pawing. Then she saw Ben and she lunged out of my arms into his. Ben sat in a kid-sized chair and held Lotta in his lap as he talked about having a baby sister. One of his teachers asked him how it was having a baby in his house. He responded enthusiastically, "It's a good life." Beforehand we had discussed that he could, if he wanted, tell the class how he helped Lotta the day she was born. (A somewhat daring prospect on my part, as you never know which part of the whole process he will share.) What he recalled the most was how she was born with "goop" all over her, that she couldn't see until we got it out of her eyes.
Yesterday in class, Ben wrote Lotta a letter that said, "Dear Lotta, I love you. Do you love me? I love to play with you. I rly (really) Love you!! I rly, rly do Love you! Love, Ben" That is an awful lotta love for his Lotta.
