Diana,

That rule works for infants too, at least at our house. There’s no debate, no negotiation. You both feign sleep until one of you can’t take the crying any more. And sometimes you get lucky and the baby goes back to sleep. (Although the first time that happens, as soon as the silence falls you both bolt upright, convinced you’ve just killed your baby from neglect.)

Some of your best writing yet!

Would you consider getting some dear photos of your beasts to put together a children’s book? With your words and their faces, it could be a charmer. Perhaps in support of your retirement fund or with proceeds going to support legal reforms or some such other worthy cause.

Well done. Excellent descriptive writing, evocative and in a style all your own. Can’t get better than that.

You are a writer, my friend.

Lorraine
