~ book recommendation ~

'the kissing hand' 

if you haven't read it or heard about, i highly recommend it.  i recently ordered bella some new books through her pre-school & this was one of them.  we read it for the first time tonight, but it turns out, she was already familiar with it, as mrs. elder also has it at school.  it's quite appropriate with all the changes in her life right now.  if you're looking for a book to help with a child's separation anxiety, this is perfect.  we actually do something very similar - we blow kisses to isabella, she catches them & tucks them under her shirt close to her heart, to pull out later to kiss her face with when she needs them.  sweet, sweet story . . .
