HONEY I LOVE

So while I have chance to be on the computer I want to update you about Pook's favorite loves. We both love (maybe mommy more than Pook at this point) the book HONEY I LOVE by Eloise Greenfield. I actually brought a first copy for the baby girl I knew I was going to have in Brooklyn before I even knew I was preggo. Then, Imani gave Pook a copy at her baby shower. IT'S THE BEST BOOK REALLY! (our second to next favorite are books by karen beaumont especially I ain't gonna paint no more and i like myself). But anyway HONEY I Love is a book of poems with the most fabulous illustrations (by Diane and Leo Dillon) ever!! So in Pook's voice she would say at 10 months, "HONEY I Love a whole lotta things like...

pulling off my diaper!

drinking my bath water and sucking my washcloth!

popsicles!!

unpacking anything including mommy's purse, drawers, whatever!

music and dancing, especially the new India.Arie! Our favorite jams are tracks 5 and 15:)

climbing stairs!

watching ceiling fans!

playing with the telephone!

watching tv!

swinging and singing!

tearing up paper!

waving!

spitting!

miniblinds!

drumming! (I swear she is a natural)

HONEY let me tell you that I DON'T love

getting my hair combed!

going to sleep when I'm not ready!

getting my diaper changed!

& getting my ears cleaned or my nose wiped!"
