Booky boy

At 8 weeks, Luka is just starting to check out his books:





The book with a picture of a baby feeding from a bottle is apparently hilarious ("What's a bottle? Where's the bosoms?")


He has since discovered what a bottle is, as Mum plans to go to a gig in April and leave him home with EBM and his Dad.

Buy some poetry, you know you want to.

My friend Kate Middleton is very clever and has just published her first book of poetry, Fire Season

It's real pretty and available at Readings in Carlton.

Go buy it! You'll like it. She's great.

Quoting things makes you feel better

From Kidwrangling:

"For me a baby's sleep routine was when they wanted sleep. The old tired signs of rubbing eyes, yawning and generally getting grumpy work if you can catch them at the right time. But if all else fails be a sucker mum like I was and rock your baby to sleep: you never know, you might like it...If your child needs a cuddle or a story or just someone to be there then so be it. Enjoy that. They will only be little for a small amount of time." - Cherrie, Bligh Park, NSW.

Amen sister.
