My kids always get excited when they know one of our mamma dogs is pregnant. Yes it means puppies will arrive soon, but it also means we will be getting ice cream! About a week before puppies are scheduled to come my husband asks the kids what day they think the puppies will come, and how many puppies there will be. We write this down on the calendar, and it helps the whole family anticipating the big day. When the puppies are born, we all celebrate with ice cream, and the person with the closest prediction gets a double serving. This time around it was my little man. He guessed the exact day, and was only one off on the number of puppies!
