Boston enjoys being fake, eating constantly, burping about a bazillion times, sitting in pink car seats, making weird noises, crying a lot for the babysitters, going to dance, breathing creepy, cooing, eating some more, crying at all hours of the night, and on and on...


Well you see, as part of my child development class at the high school I had to take take this "baby" for 3 days. Yep, it acts like it's a real baby: cries cries cries, drinks a bottle, and you have to change its diaper. It is computerized to do all of these things and it records how well you care for it. To tell the truth, I was pretty paranoid about it. But I ended up doing fine :)

So all around campus, at the college, everyone gave me theee weirdest looks. Wondering why the heck I was carrying around a baby doll. Then when it cried they were just confused. haha

Boston was a good edition to the family for the 3 days. My mom said, "I almost bonded with him while I was holding him." secretly I think she really did. She misses him already, she was sad to say her good-byes this morning. haha I love you mom.

I learned a lot about reality from this experience. Wow, Moms do so much for us! And I only took care of it for 3 days, let a lone mothers take care and watch over us for eternity. Mothers really are super women. Thanks mother!

Speaking of my mother, it is her birthday today!!! Happy Birthday mom, you are the best. Thanks for all you do and thanks for babysitting Boston. tehe. I love you :)

Well farewell Boston.

Nice meeting you.
