Bunnies: The Secret Baby Beachhead

You think it’s Disney and Barney that are cleaning up in the North American baby media market? You’re wrong; it’s the bunny books:

That’s a photo that Ian posted this morning showing off new baby purchases. We own the same books. Indeed I think I’ve seen the same books in the house of every set of parents I’ve visited since Oliver was born.

By the way, let me take this opportunity to congratulate Mike the Stuffed Monkey on has new position at the top of Oliver’s stuffed animal collection. When Mike joined the family three years ago, Oliver was afraid of him. Which only makes sense because Mike was, at that time, actually bigger than Oliver. Today Oliver brought Mike to school to play a role in a workshopping of a stuffed “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” Mike has arrived. He may not be a bear, but he’s arrived.
