That's How We Love Our Babies Around Here

The poetry action is over here -- during November and December, No Tell contributors are nominating the best poetry books of 2008 and recommending poetry books as holiday gifts, among other things.

Today Gideon and I went through the first year of his life on this blog (closest thing I have to a scrapbook). He loved it. Just wait until he can read. He'll be thanking me forever.

He told me my name was Mommy Hart Morrow. He said his little brown teddy bear was his baby and her name was Effie (named after his 2nd cousin). Effie is wrapped in a Steeler's Terrible Towel and sleeping in a plastic Jack-o-lantern hanging from a door knob.
