How to choose a book.

If you're seven months old, this is how you choose a book to read.

Look around for whatever books are on the floor.

If it is bright and colorful, lean over and pick it up. This will take a while if it's a board book and kind of heavy. Be persistent.

Now the hard part. You can't read. So the only way you can tell if this particular book is any good is to ... put it in your mouth.

Personally, I like to read the first few pages and decide if the book is worth reading. But this system works for Kate, who, by the way, is wearing her "I love Daddy shirt" so Dan will know she misses him while he's gone on a business trip this week. I miss him too, but strangely, they don't sell a lot of T-shirts with "I love Dan" on the front.

speaking of good books...have you read any by wally lamb? he's awesome! i've read two of his books and loved them both. (i might be out of the loop because i think he was cool a long time ago and i'm just finding out. stupid grad school.) not sure what to read next so maybe i'll try baby kate's method. :)

Bryonie:

Hmmm...I'll try this technique next. It probably would have saved me from some real time-wasters.

Edie:
