Three weeks? Already?



It's hard to believe that Noah will be three weeks old tomorrow -- and that I haven't been your teacher for three weeks! The time has gone by really fast! Sometimes it feels like only a few days ago that I saw you all, and sometimes it feels like forever. It was good to read all of your positive comments and notes. It makes me feel happy to know that most of you are enjoying your new teacher and busy learning! Congratulations on getting five stars.

I wish I could have stayed one more week to really say goodbye, like Tajané said, but I guess Noah was just ready to be born. He is growing fast -- he already weighs a pound more than he did when he was born. He mostly sleeps a lot and eats a lot right now -- I have to feed him every two hours or so because he has such a tiny stomach! Everything about him, in fact, is pretty tiny. It's amazing to think we all started off this small.....

I have put some new pictures into the Noah album for you, and hopefully you will get to meet him very soon. I'll talk to Ms. Smith about a good time to visit! In the meantime, good luck on CSAP next week! Do your best and make me proud.

Noah Henry Tarr


Well, he's arrived, about ten days ahead of schedule! I'm sorry I couldn't spend one more week with the class, as planned -- I'll miss Haley's birthday, for one thing, as well as the Valentine's Day party and dance.....but that's just how things turned out. People keep telling me that once you have a baby, he will rule your life, and I guess this was no exception!

Here are a few pictures for you -- click here for the rest! Be good for Ms. Smith, and I'll come visit when Noah is a little older. Lots of love,
Ms. LaVenture
