Ms. Action requests it almost every day, and \u201creads\u201d it aloud from memory perfectly. Its a cute story about how to behave around a new baby, and I think its been helpful in getting used to our own baby, since I will hear Ms. Action whisper to herself <em>\u201cSo what can you do with a new baby? We can cuddle her, and rock her to sleep.

Big colorful pictures and a fun rhyming story to go with it.

My kids always follow along and make the animal noises and ask for it over and over and over. Its my favorite because even though I\u2019ve read it a million times, I don\u2019t feel any dread when they ask for it again, and I can read it with my eyes closed, so I get a bonus mini-nap. <\/p>\n<p>Now head over to <a href=\"http:\/\/thisheavenlylife.blogspot.com\/2010\/02\/what-we-found-at-library-10.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">This Heavenly Life<\/a> to see more books and share your own!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph.
