I found this book almost 5 years ago, shortly before Sir Honey was born. I was pregnant and at the library book sale. Overly concerned how my first born would react to being a big brother, I desperately wanted to prepare him for the radical change that was about to occur.
Over the years, this book has become one of our VERY favorite stories.
So, we read it as a family last night. I think we all thought it would bring on the birth pains that God talks about occurring when you least expect it.
Anyhoodle, the book is about little Max who is impatiently waiting for his sister to arrive.
As the days become a week, finally the family goes on a long walk . . .
Which we did . . . (partially because I wanted to capture the fall colors with Willow, my camera.)

And I even made some cookies, just like in the book.

(Which actually taste better as frozen dough, not that I just had some dough or anything.)
Moral of the story: If you give a mom a book, she just might bake some cookies, go on a walk, or have a baby (not!).
