My Baby is Ready for a Baby

My little girl is 15 months old. Positively O.L.D.
And she has her first baby doll, which I guess makes me a grandmother.
She wants to please. I know that’s a faze, but it’s a great faze so it’s worth mentioning. She has her first baby doll and she feeds it, puts it to bed, and pats it until it’s almost asleep, at which point she pulls it out of bed once more, feeds it and puts it back… if the doll could speak it would yell, “For the love of God let me sleep!” But it can’t, so we know it loves the affection.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.
Yeah, it’s been a long time since I last wrote. What can I say, I’m very busy and/ or important.
But now I’m back because I have to share something with you: I love books.

The story is beautiful, the images are breathtaking. And there’s even an app that you can hold next to the book to discover more about the book. But, wait, there’s more! If you’re not into reading, perhaps you’ve lost both eyes in a horrific knife fight, you can also watch the movie (no, I’m not collecting royalties, I just freaking love this book!) it was nominated for an oscar, which was the reason I heard about the book in the first place.
When I finally reach the top of my mountain and you are reading my book, I hope it will plant the same snippet of beauty in your soul that Morris Lessmore planted in mine.
And now, a snippet from the app:
