As we bid farewell to the phase where it's 'not too early but not quite time,' Week 39 ushers us into the exciting realm of 'go time.' We delved into the challenges my partner faces with hormonal irritation, a test that continues to intensify. As a partner, offering support becomes paramount, understanding that her experience is uniquely her own. While some moments call for comfort, there are times when my role is to simply be present.

Adding a touch of joy to this pivotal week, our little pug mix is gearing up to celebrate his birthday. Week 39 might just gift him the ultimate surprise—a new playmate.

Reading for the week:

This week's reading holds a special place in our hearts—a cherished gift from a dear friend at the baby shower a few weeks ago. Influenced by their role as a Spanish translator, the delightful book in focus is 'Dragons Love Tacos' by Adam Rubin (Author) and Daniel Salmieri (Illustrator).

Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin (Author), Daniel Salmieri (Illustrator)

This book is a burst of creativity! The innovative ways they intertwine dragons and tacos are both clever and amusing. It brought genuine laughter, and I'm eagerly anticipating sharing those joyful moments when reading it with my child. The prospect of delving into the sequel adds an extra layer of excitement.

The artwork in the book is not just clever; it's a delightful blend of richness and character. The unique style caught my eye, adding an extra layer of charm to the narrative. As I cultivate my own fondness for art, I eagerly anticipate sharing this passion with the next generation.

This is unquestionably a book not to be missed. The joy it brought me has fueled my anticipation to share this delightful experience with my child. An absolute must-read!


Bonus for you:

I've recently added new artwork to my creative site and would love for you to explore my artistic ventures. Dive into my drawings and visuals, and feel free to communicate with me here. I've curated multiple versions of drawings, and I'm always excited to hear about what others are working on. Let's connect and share our creative journeys!


Question of the Week:

What books are you currently sharing with your loved ones, or are there any must-have additions in your family library that you recommend? Whether it's a heartwarming children's story, a parenting guide, or a personal favorite, I'd love to hear about the literary gems lighting up your home. Share your recommendations, and let's build an inspiring reading list together!
