On March 30th we told the kids we were going to have a baby. Since it was so early on in the pregnancy we told them to keep it a secret for a bit. Dax kept the secret for one day and then he cracked. Here is a letter he wrote to a classmate, when the class was practicing letter writing. He wrote it to Mallory Carroll, since I know her mom, Liz, she gave me a copy of the letter. I didn't edit the spelling or punctuation. This is how Dax wrote it.The letter says:
4/1/08
Dear Mallory,
You and me are very alike. Like you and me are sort of crazy. Maybe you whold like to come over again. If you want to hear a secret anser this queshten. What is the subject of the secret. Anser: *The subject is my mom.
Surprising, isn't it, *A baby coming? (*written upside down). Good bye for now, Mallory Caroll.
Sign,
Daxton.
We thought it was cute.
I soon realized that Derek was telling everyone as well. The secret is out. If you don't want anyone to know anything, don't tell your kids.
