I think this may be my favorite picture of my baby, Elliot, who is really not a baby any longer, as my friend Jay seems to take perverse pleasure in pointing out to me.


Elliot can suddenly read all by himself ("Just So Stories" being the current fave). He climbs, like, thirty feet up in a tree in our backyard. He rides a bike and skateboard and is just generally getting to be a big kid.

But he still likes to fall asleep at night lying on my back, like he has done since he was a toddler. He says it's because that's how baby sloths and koalas fall asleep. Pretty soon, though, he'll probably announce he's too old to be a baby koala at bedtme, so I'm enjoying it now.
