Baby Names

The Das Schmidt Haus Baby Name Game

March 20, 2014 by Lisa Schmidt 7 Comments

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

An ancient history professor went to the hospital to be with his wife as she gave birth to their first child. While the baby was born, the professor’s expression never changed. The child was put in the arms of his mother. Still the professor’s countenance never changed. The family moved from the delivery room to the post delivery room. Still the man’s face didn’t change; it remained bland. A nurse noticed this and asked him to go into the hall while they examined the baby.

In the hall she asked the professor, thoughtfully, “What name will you give the baby?” He replied, “Theophilus.”

On the Day You Were Born

Inspired by a recent blog post by Lisa Hendey about her “Panera dates” with her son, Lisa Schmidt takes a walk down memory lane. The Schmidt’s last “Panera date” led to labor and delivery of their firstborn. What “on the day you were born” stories do you share with your children?
