Baby Turnip?

  

Alex counts fourteen friends in our circle.  Troy, Caroline and Alexander are missing.  We wish them well!  She writes “Nature” on our calendar.

 

T:	I’ve been thinking of Gwen’s family… something is happening in their family so soon!
Gwen:	I’m having a baby.
T:	Gwen is going to be a big sister!  Do you remember what important job families have when they have a baby?  When the baby is born, the baby will need a name.  We gave Luke’s family some ideas before Jasmine was born.  Do you think we can help Gwen’s family, too?
Gwen:	I am having a brother.  It has been Slothy and Turnip for now.  Now it is Slothy.
