Flowers

I achieved this effect by making multiple layers and earasing what needed be.  Long story short, it makes the flowers more profound and stick out better. 

Baby Project

My baby went with me EVERYWHERE and it became blatantly obvious that even fake babies are a pain in the @$$.  From camping to swim practice to capture the flag, wierd looks found me on every corner.  Overall, the baby project was rather fun.   Oh and p.s.  Sugar bags make better babies than the flour ones!  hahaha

Excessive Infant/Toddler Workouts

 Exercise as we know has many positive benefits, but too much can be harmful. Children who exercise compulsively are at risk for both physical and psychological problems.

Compulsive exercise (also called obligatory exercise and anorexia athletica) is an exercise addict's frame of mind. He or she no longer chooses to exercise but feels compelled to do so and struggles with guilt and anxiety if he or she doesn't work out. Injury, illness, an outing with friends, bad weather — none of these will deter those who compulsively exercise. In a sense, exercising takes over a compulsive exerciser's life because he or she plans life around it.
In sticking to a rigorous workout schedule, they seek a sense of power to help them cope with low self-esteem. Eventually, compulsive exercising can breed other compulsive behaviors like strict dieting and obsessive thoughts about perceived flaws. Exercise addicts may keep detailed journals about their exercise schedules and obsess about improving themselves. Unfortunately, these behaviors often compound each other, trapping the person in a downward spiral of negative thinking and low self-esteem.
That's psychological issues but there are plenty of physical issues that can result as well. Lifting too heavy of weights could shift growth plates and have other issues on the normal growth of bones. Actually becoming overly muscular at too young an age will have a negative effect on the muscle size ratio to the bone size, and the bones will not be able to properly catch up. Overall, if your child is going to lift weights, it’s never too early to start working on form. -And If they really want to, instruct them to go high reps, low weight. At 13 is when they should start pushing themselves a little more.

My First Day as a Parent

1. In the "If I Became a Teen Parent" assignment, did the response you received from your parent/guardian surprise you?  Discuss.

Nah; my parents could relate because apparantly, they had to raise an egg fior a wek back in the day. 

1. What responses to the flour baby project surprised you?  (i.e. What friends, family, or strangers said or how they acted)

lots o lil freshies tend to stare...  kinda wierd haha

1. In what ways should we have started this project differently?  (i.e. If we had it to do over again, how would you have started the project?)

I think i like having to raise an egg over having to raise this bag of flour lol    these are real realy durable

What was the most surprising about the "Baby Costs" project?

Babies cost way more than the average teen gives credit
