Baby Rhubarb.

Hey,
Well as most of you know, I have to take a baby home (a robotic one, that is) for my parenting course at school. This weekend (the long weekend, aren't I lucky?) I took home a baby girl, who I named Rhubarb. I named her this not because I admire the legume (although it certainly may seem like it) but because I don't want to name this facsimile of a baby a real name just in case I want to name my future kids that. I want all names to be an option because I don't know I or my husband will like in the future.
So far, life has been simple.
I went and got a haircut (bonus: many weird stares for robotic baby sitting in car seat) and now have a fringe! I am sort of on the fence about the fringe business seeing as it makes me look 5 years younger and, it makes me look five years younger!! Other than that, I don't want people to think I'm copying Julia because it was only after that I realised that we now have the exact same haircut. Oh lawdy. Well so far things with the baby have gone pretty well. The baby has been 'abused' 3 times. As been recorded, and somebody (DEM KNEES) called me a 'horrible mother' but otherwise, things have been pretty good.
I'll write more later.
Love,
allie
