Will it be a girl or a boy and what will we name our little one? The lists went on and on as my husband and I hashed out various names from popular to traditional. We settled on names that fit two criteria; they hadn’t been previously used as a first name by close friends or family members and they sounded good with Horsey…a name I’ve always felt could become a source for schoolyard teasing (my husband vehemently disagrees) You can imagine we nixed Ryder and Gray off the list! It turned out we could both agree on a name that had been passed down by generations on my husband’s side…Yay bonus points with the in-laws!  That also made naming our second son much easier since we had to be fair to both sides, right?

It seems celebrities have their own criteria for baby naming. Their publicized names often make me wonder if they are just a cover for what they will REALLY call them to protect their identities. Perhaps schoolyard teasing is not a concern. If you are looking for some inspiration you can keep up with  the latest in celebrity arrivals at Celebrity Baby Names where you can see the popular, the cute and the creative in celebrity offspring naming.

There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can’t move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.”

Robert Frost quotes (American poet, 1874-1963)

Thank you skilled and dedicated teachers! You teach our kids the basics tools to live but you also inspire them to do what they dream they can do to thrive. You help them get over the tough stuff, the obstacles that might make them feel stuck and discouraged and find a creative way to work through it so they see they can get through anything.  It’s a tough job but so important and I appreciate all the positive things you do because what you do now affects your students for the rest of their lives.

That little bundle? All pink and squirmy? Precious and new? How fast they grow up. Now she’s a little twinkle toes twirling her dance steps across your kitchen floor.  Practicing, practicing for the big recital.  Tutus, ballet shoes, starlet in the making! What a proud moment for her as she’s made another leap to your Big Girl. Ballerina Charm
