Spencer: “Well…I guess we could keep the stroller.”

Ashley: “Yes!” She jumps and hugs me.

She moves her face in front of mine, her arms still around my neck.

Ashley: “What about the clothes?” She pouts and I sigh.

Spencer: “Ok, but only a few.”

Ashley: “Great! Lets bring in the bags so we can see which ones we wanna keep.” She says, then grabs some bags from the car and runs into the house.

Ashley: “I like this one.”

Spencer: “The baby booties have to go with that one.” Ashley laughs. “What?”

Ashley: “You said booties.” She giggles.

Spencer: “Ash, that’s what they’re called.”

Ashley: “They’re miniature socks, why can’t they just be called socks. I wouldn’t want to wear something called ‘booties’.” She giggles.

Spencer: “Wow, you’re so mature Ash.”

Ashley: “I know, right.” She says, then sticks out her tongue playfully.

MONDAY

Aiden: “Her name is Eden Evanson. Her last name is both of ours merged together.”

Trevor: “I wanted to name her Tara, but when Aiden told me the meaning of her name, I really liked it. It can be interpreted as the garden where Adam and Eve lived, a delightful place; paradise.” He says, holding the baby and looking down at her.

Aiden: “Yeah, and I also wanted to name her that because it kinda sounds like my name.” He laughs, and the class joins in. “Trevor turned out to be a good father, I just had to sit down and talk to him.”

Mrs. Peterson: “Great job you guys.” Aiden and Trevor sit down. “Ok, Spencer and Ashley, you two are next.” Spencer and I get up and go to the front of the class with our baby.

Ashley: “Ok, so Spencer gave birth to our baby, Elizabeth Marie Carlin-Davies, she’s named after Spencer and I. Spencer is a great mother, she always knew what to do and how to do it.”

Spencer: “Ashley was a great mom too. She made sure Lizzie had everything she needed, and when I was tired she took care of her.”

Ashley: “It was great having to do this project. Spencer was an amazing mother and wife. She’s everything I already have, and everything I’m looking forward to.” I say, looking at Spencer and she smiles lovingly at me.
