We the unwilling, led by the unqualified, have been doing the unbelievable for so long, with so little, we now attempt the impossible with nothing. - Mini-School Credo

Baby Update

November 1, 1996 by Mini Archives

By Kristi Dahl and Nicole Tiggas

Kristi and I went around and asked people how their babies were doing and there was a lot of exciting and interesting things we found out.

Collin Davis, 16 years old, and Kaylee

  1. How old is your baby now?
    Almost 2 years old. She was born on February 28th.
  2. Is it easier or harder than you thought it would be?
    At this point in time it is a lot harder now than I thought it would be because there have been a lot of changes that were not expected.
  3. Is there anything new and exciting about your child?
    Her Doctor says her IQ is 130 percent for her age. She is so smart, man. She talks about stuff a lot and likes shoes. She’s the next Doogie Howser.
  4. Now that your baby is growing up are you going to want to have another one?
    Yes, I would like a boy later on.

Erica Gysland, 18 years old, and Joel

  1. How old is your baby now?
    15 months
  2. Is it easier or harder than you thought it would be?
    Harder because he is the Devil’s spawn.
  3. Is there any thing new and exciting about your chiid?
    He can draw, he’s not on the bottle any more, one night he just decided he did not want it anymore. He’s just Rowdy. He says “no mama”, and gives high five.

    Not for a long time.
