On the Night You Were Born

Even though Chicken won't technically celebrate his (or her!) first Christmas until next year, I was doing a little shopping for this year and couldn't resist picking up this beautiful book by Nancy Tillman. This is our first official gift for our Little Chicken Fry, and we plan on reading it to him regularly.

Here is one of my favorite passages ... 

"Heaven blew every trumpet

and played every horn

on the wonderful, marvelous

night you were born."

And this one definitely makes me smile, 

thinking of all the cuteness that is to come ...

"Not once had there been such eyes,

such a nose,

such silly, wiggly, wonderful toes.

In fact, I think I'll count to three

so you can wiggle your toes for me."

To our silly, wiggly, wonderful Chicken,

Love, Mommy and Daddy
