Books books books

Myles has been absolutely obssessed with books this week (upside down, in the car, while getting a diaper change). About a zillion times a day I hear the pitter patter of little feet making their way toward me...I look up and see Myles with a book in hand. We are already fantasizing about the day when we can sit around after supper and read him a chapter from James and the Giant Peach. This week he also has learned the sweet new trick of hugging his bear on command. His "pat pat" offerings to Juniper have become increasingly enthusiastic...he enjoys a good tug on her jowls which she is none too pleased with, so we are trying to continue the long lesson of what it means to be gentle.

A shout out to Ms. Kelli Duff (Tarchalski) who just gave birth to a sweet baby girl named Lily. Congratulations Kel and Ryan (and Madeline and Avery)!!

Also, I just wanted to mention an amazing interview with Ani Difranco that appears in this month's issue of Mothering magazine...Ani's baby was born right around the time Myles was born. Check it out!
