Aniesia Medina
On September 22, I got the realcare baby to take care of for the weekend. I chose the white female, which I named Autumn Simba Medina Pavletic. Autmn is my first middle name, and Medina is my last. Simba is because I made lion king jokes based off her lion neck pillow, and Pavletic is my boyfriend’s last name. It was definitely an experience I will not forget.
The first night is when I experienced the most fatigue and got the most frustrated. I wasn’t sure what to expect because some friends told me their baby was from Hell. I’m also a really deep sleeper and was scared of sleeping through Autumn’s cries.

My dad would most likely kill me, because he is extremely strict especially about boys. I talked to my grandma and my mother and we came up with love, responsibility and discipline, are the top three qualities for effective parenting. Love is because you obviously need to give you child attention and affection and make them feel loved. You cannot just neglect your own child. Responsibility is because you can’t just pawn your baby off to someone else. You are literally in control of someone’s life; you need to be smart with the choices you make. Discipline is because when you have your child and they are old enough, you can’t let them get away with everything. If they make stupid choices you need to be there for them and make sure they understand right from wrong. There are lots of other qualities that could be helpful but I think those three are really
