Sweet Dreams

We are hoping that Jones will love books like his mama and daddy. Right now he loves them!

We are in need of more...we have read the ones we have many, many times.

The book they are reading in the picture is "the sweet dreams book" by Laurie Parker. She lives in Starkville and is a wonderful author and painter. The book is too sweet. It's the perfect bedtime book.

We love it - thanks, Lita!

pure genius

Jones loves his crib mobile. Not for sleep, necessarily, but I can put him in his crib and turn that thing on and he is a happy camper.

Well, in the past, he has not so much loved his car seat making a normal 4 hour trip to starkville a more than 6 hour nightmare.

Until now.

In all her genius ways, my genius mother found this genius product over at geniusbabies.com. And it is just that: genius. A mobile that attaches to your child''s car seat and stroller.

Go get one, mothers.

It's love.

For both Jones and his parents.

Yes, it plays music. And if you think I turn the obnoxious music off while in stores, you are dead wrong. A happy baby = a happy mommy.

In other news, Jones and I went to the bookstore yesterday afternoon for a little outing. He was fast asleep in his stroller (thanks, genius mobile) while I enjoyed browsing books that I have no time to read anymore. And then I ran over an old man's feet. Not one foot, but both feet, with the heavy stroller. I am a terrible driver with that thing. This happened after I banged the thing in the wall walking into the mall. It's heavy. I'm tired. Sorry, little old man.

HELP: The bookstore made me miss reading. Anyone have a good book they would recommend? I need something that I can read once he is in bed at night. But nothing heavy; something quick. I will be suprised if I don't fall asleep through the first page, but it's worth a shot. Thanks.
