new inspiration

I have been feeling a bit uninspired lately. Funny how a little bit of down time in life leaves me with nothing to say. Or maybe just an inability to put how I'm feeling into words. I think some people can write more when they're down. I tend to thrive on happiness.

So I have had to rethink where I find inspiration. D loves for us to read to him. He actually brings us books and sits in our lap to listen. So I thought I would share some of our favorite kid books.

D's first favorite (from around four months, believe it or not) was Dig Ivan Dig. Wendy Ann Gardner has a series of Naughty Naughty Pet books. This one entails a pug who reeks havoc on his NYC loft. I think D liked it because the dog looks strangely like a baby. I love the graphic nature of the pictures. It's not too cutesy. We ordered Yes, A Cat Named Marty Cohen and Naughty Naughty Keifer. He liked them ... just not as much. We never could find Heedley Pecked Me in the Eye.
More to come ...
