Dear Luca:
Since Mommy and Daddy are looking for a new house for all of you, I thought it would be a good idea if I asked everyone to please keep this search in their prayers.
I know your new place needs lots of hardwood floors so that you can use your new walker and "walk, walk, walk til you're there". So we're all going to pray to St. Joseph - the perfect person, I think - to help your Mommy and Daddy. And you, Luca, if you say an "I Love Jesus" every night before you go to bed, that would be a perfect prayer for your new nest.
And, Luca, I love you, too!

This is one of my FAVORITE books for the kids when they get older. I appreciate the symbolism, but it's still a good book,too. If Luca like's "Are You My Mother",Ann, he'll love this one.
And your house-hunting is in my prayers as well!
Great post, kbb. Although I would like to point out that by the end of this book Mr. and Mrs. Bird have suffered a few near death experiences, have a new baby to feed and end up in the same damn nest they started from. Just what are you trying to pull here?
PS - Thanks, Maureen. At least someone doesn't have sinister and ulterior motives on her mind.
Have mercy!
The BEST nest is wherever Luca lies his beautiful head. Right, Luca?
Oh man.
(BTW: Jack's going to hear about this one, don't think he isn't. Agents stick together and do NOT even hint at ulterior motives, unless...is that paranoi I'm sensing? Oh dear. Yes, Jack is definitely going to have to be alerted about this.)
SO cute.
p.s. Moses - Luca loves this book.
kbb - forgive me. I've been working for almost 24 hours straight without a break, under incredible pressure and without anything to eat.
I had Chloe cross reference Best Nest with other PD Eastman books and she thinks this is the best option too.
Thanks for the prayers.
Ok, you get a reprieve this time.
Not just because of your heartfelt apology but because Best Nest is NOT the exact experience we want for Luca ( or you or Annie). And yes, I KNOW how a 24 routine can zap one's entire being. Bathroom visits are essentially a non-issue if you haven't eaten for 24...that's part of the creative plan.
Just be careful about spouting ulterior motive theories. Your 24 induction is relatively new and Chloe can - and will - "delete" you in a heartbeat (I have conections)if word goes out that you aren't a team player.
