Silly Wonderful You

Four years ago today our oldest was born.  Since then my husband and I have been blessed beyond measure with the opportunity to be his mommy and daddy.  He has taught us so much about life, love and how to have fun!  I cannot think of a better book to share today than Sherri Duskey Rinker's Silly Wonderful You. 

Silly Wonderful You is written by a parent to a child.  The mother remembers a clean and quiet house, never quite imagining just how loud and messy a house could get.  She reflects on early morning wake up calls, the number of toys and the sheer exhaustion of being a parent.  The books ends with parent and child sleeping together in a chair with the line, "dreams really do come true."  Silly Wonderful You is the perfect ode to children, how they change our lives for the better and all the love that comes with them.
