Dear Marshall,
You’re at a stage now where you like to crawl around on the ground to explore. You’re so determined, not to mention fast, and it’s getting harder every day to keep you out of trouble. Today you insisted on playing with one of your board books (Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?). First I read it to you, then I let you hold the book for a few minutes, thinking what a relief it was to have found something safe to interest you for a while. Well, it was safe for you, but not so much for the book. I turned away for a few minutes, and by the time I looked back, you had managed to bend the front cover and coat it with milk chuck. Bravo! That’s OK. I’m not so fond of that book anyway.
Love,
Mom
