The Book I Bought Today
Today Harriet and I met up with our friends Alex and Baby Leo to scour Value Village for baby-sized treasures, and then afterwards we went to the Holy Oak Cafe. Where they have a book club, which I didn’t join, but I bought the book they had on sale for it anyway. The Waterproof Bible by Andrew Kaufman. Why? Because everybody’s talking about it. Because my friend Rebecca Rosenblum swears by All My Friends Are Superheroes. And because the book was absolutely beautiful. So there was no surprise when I opened the cover and found it was designed by Kelly Hill.
that IS a very lovely cover, and makes me wish i could read now.
and the poem by susan telfer made my heart skip a few beats.
plus your thoughts on attachment parenting made me laugh out loud. i am wholeheartedly a fan of sleeping next to the hungry little boy, and did so until he fell out of the bed. my sleep was so much better then, but i’ve got a curious monkey who needs the saftey of a crib. darn monkey.
I invested in a bed rail. Which was a kind of surrender, but one that has us all sleeping with a bit more ease.
