Review: Nighty Night, Sleepy Sleeps

Nighty Night, Sleepy Sleeps

I received my copy of Nighty Night, Sleepy Sleeps by Brian Anderson the other day. I ordered it months ago when I heard it was going to be produced. Brian Anderson is the creator, writer and artist of the web comic Dog Eat Doug. This book is full of colorful paintings of Doug and Sophie as they crash about the house avoiding going to sleep at night. The story is light but cute and the images are wonderful.

Happy Birthday Eva!

My Daughter Eva turned One today. In a whirlwind year this kid went from laying around not doing much of anything to being the queen butt scootah of the house. Really, she took the title from Allison in a heated race. And with any birthday it is time to celebrate. We celebrated by taking Eva to Red Robin for her 1st solid meal sans any baby food. She had apples slices and half a burger. I helped her out with the other half. She even had a bit of a fry minus the Fry Sauce that I made.

The image above is from Brian Anderson of Dog Eat Doug. I did a review of his comic compilation and he sent me this sketch for Eva’s Birthday. What a great guy.
