Amelia Narration:
Naming:

For the earliest ceremony, the naming, the nurturers brought the new children to the stage.

The Nurturers section was in the front so It was not hard to spot them.

From it wails and howls of the new children who sat squirming on the Nurturers laps.

The audience was always silent but once a year, they all smiled indulgently at the commotion from the little ones waiting to receive their names and families.

The first ceremony began, with each new child was given a name and handed by the nurturers to Its new family unit.

For some It was their first child, but many came to the stage accompanied by another child beaming with pride to receive a little brother or sister, the way noah did when he was a five.

As I smiled I started to wonder what It be like if I got a sibling or someday when I became a mother. My parents was busy and very stern people so after having me they really didn't want to take another In.
