On October 12, 2018, Rayne Elise was born. The name Rayne means "strong counselor" and "helpful friend" and derives from France and England. I chose this name because I thought it was unique and interesting. I'm so excited to begin parenting! I am planning to read with my baby, take her to my dance classes and create an everlasting bond with her. In 0-3 months, my baby will have the ability to smile at familiar faces, grasp at toys and put objects in her mouth.

I am thoroughly enjoying being a parent so far! I am forming a close bond with Rayne, and I believe that it's mutual. When I am a parent someday I would like to be an authoritative parent. I want the rules in my household to be clear, while still maintaining a warm and nurturing personality. Carrying my baby around school fills me with pride and joy, and I am enjoying immersing myself in this experience.

Rayne loves admiring her reflection in her cute crab toy! Through playing with this toy, a baby learns what they look like and how to recognize themselves and the facial features of others.

Dear Mom and Dad,
After participating in this experiment, I can't even begin to understand how difficult it must be to parent a real child. Thank you loving me and caring for me for thirteen years. If it weren't for you, I don't know where I'd be today. Thank you so much!
Love, Kayla

The most challenging thing for Rayne and I so far has been deciding where she should stay while I'm at cross country practice. This has been a challenge because it's too early to take her to daycare, and it is a potential safety hazard for me to put her in my locker. However, I was able to resolve this issue by having Rayne sit by my backpack in the locker room. Not only is this location safe, but it's also comfortable for Rayne.

If I had the opportunity to do this assignment again, I think I would put more thought into the name of my baby. While I like the name I ultimately gave my baby, I feel like I could have researched the name's meaning before the fact. What I would keep the same is my baby's proportions. I think I did a fairly good job at maintaining these and making them appear normal. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this project!
