Great blog post. I hope you will keep us up to date on the future of reading and technology. All of the babies born today will know what the internet is, phones are no longer connected to cords, and reading is more portable than ever. Has there been…

Erin Okuno replied to Patricia Nan Anderson's discussion 'How did you transition your toddler into a new sleeping situation?'
This is a very timely question, we just had to retransition our child back to his crib. At 9 mo. he could start the night in his own crib but around 10.00-12.00 he would wake up and we would bring him to our bed. Around 12 mo got to big to co-sleep…

One of our partners, Pierce County Library System, shared this book list with me. It is a list of some of the top children's books published in 2008. I have slowly been reading down the list and throughly enjoying them. I thought you might enjoy doing so too!

Read so far:

Baby Promises

I lay in bed fighting for a few extra moments of sleep. I had been up at 1.00 AM to feed our baby and again at 4.00 AM when his cries convinced my husband to say "just put him in bed with us, I have to be up in an hour anyway." I looked at Ivan, all swaddled, laying sideways—feet in my face, sleeping serenely and I made a silent promise to him. I silently told him that I would always love him.

Since Ivan was born almost six-months ago, I’ve made numerous promises to him. Some of them spoken “I… Continue

Ivan is gorgeous! I cannot wait to hold him. Gabrielle is sleeping through the night. She will actually sleep until 7:30-8am, if we don't have to go anywhere. My body is still adjusting from being pregnant so I don't sleep very well.

Yeah this is pretty cool! Is it linked to Facebook? How old is your little one? My princess, Gabrielle, turned 7 months today. She is into everything...we think she is going to walk really early. Well I guess trying to keep up with her 17, 15 & 11 year old siblings will do that to a kid : )

Soon enough, you will have one of your own! I've got some great blankets for a boy (or girl if you are OK with her being swaddled in truck print).
