I’ve been teaching middle school for 6 years, so I’m totally ready for Baby Barto. Plus he’s smaller, cuddlier and there’s just one of him.

hey there!
i read your blog but didn't know your name... thanks for your comment :). i worked with middle schoolers during college. i think they are totally nuts (much like myself) so we get along quite well! you are a ROCK STAR for teaching such folks.
can't wait to see baby barto's face!
happy weekend :)

This was too funny! I think the words "smaller" and "cuddlier" are key. And I would also add "yours".
Sara, I think you are handling the preparations so well - your thoughts, your reading, learning amharic, sending gifts, new recipes with teff. You ARE ready for Baby Barto and I know he is ready for the two of you!
