Gideon 13 Months

M(om): Gideon! What are you doing?

G(ideon): Just exploring, Mom. I love to explore everything. I love to climb and see what I can get into.

M: You certainly are good at getting into everything. I never quite know where I am going to find you.  And you seem quite pleased with yourself no matter what you are doing. What else do you like to do?

G: I like to be outside a lot too. There are so many fun things to see and do and feel. It is great!
M: You do love to be outside. And I like to let you just crawl all around in your coveralls. I have to watch to make sure that you don't eat anything you shouldn't, but overall, you are just full of wonder and joy. Any walking or talking?

G: Not too much. I can get anywhere I want to by crawling and climbing, so I am doing well. And talking...well I think that you understand me pretty much all of the time, even if I don't use actual words. But I can sign "more" and "all done" and I say something that sort of sounds like "all done" while I sign. And I of course can say, "dad" and I said "mama just yesterday and you seemed to really like that.

 M: I did. I am looking forward to hearing you call me "mama" a bit more. What else is new?

G: Hmm...I love my dad and I cry when he goes outside without me. I just like to be part of the action, so I cry a bit when I need to go to sleep too. I don't like being alone, Mom. I like to have people around me.

M: I know, buddy. But it will be okay. What do you like to play with?
G: I like things with wheels and things that make noise. I am also starting to like looking at books, especially ones that have things to touch and feel. If I have a book in bed with me, I often look at it when I wake up in the morning.

M: It is pretty sweet Gideon. Thanks for talking with me for a bit.

G: No problem, Mom.

When you open the pages of Emissary by Thomas Locke, you enter a world quite different from our own. Magic is practised, but only in certain places and ways. There are legends and myths of what happened thousands of years ago. And a dark, evil force is slowly threatening the peace this world has known for the last thousand years. And the one person who may have the answer to it all is an unlikely hero named Hyam. As a child, Hyam studied in the Long Hall with the magicians who know and practice magic.

Hyam soon discovers he has powers beyond the mastery of language and understand the the fate and future of this world rests in his hands.

A fter years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again.

When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. I really enjoyed this book. The characters in it were interesting and unique. While some thing...
