Baby Walter

Last week was "baby week" in Kori's Teen Living class.  All of the students were required to carry around a baby all week, wherever they went, and they had to keep a log of the baby's activities.  They even had to get up in the middle of the night and call the teacher to let her know that they were up with their baby.  There was no restriction on what kind of baby they could use, as long as it weighed at least five pounds.  Kori wanted to do something different than the typical stuffed animal or doll, so we went to the store and bought the biggest pineapple we could find.  Kori drew a face on it, and we made some clothes and blankets.  I think he turned out pretty cute, and I especially love his spiky hair.  Well, the pineapple was a hit with the whole school!  Baby Walter got noticed everywhere he went, but everyone wanted to eat him!  At the end of the week, I sent some pineapple to school with Kori so she could share.  Unfortunately at the end of the week all the babies have to die, and yes, Baby Walter died by cannibalism.  So sad.
