Baby Ellie

  I had almost forgotten this piece I created for Ranger Rick a few months ago; then the magazine came  and reminded me. Of course, elephants never forget. Or as Dorothy Parker once said, "Women and elephants never forget."
  Baby elephants suck the ends of their trunks in lieu of thumbs.  I wonder what Dorothy would say about that?

Mom's Best Friend

A piece I just completed for babytalk magazine. Reasons your baby should have a dog: Clean up, smelly diaper alert, tug of war, and helping baby take those first steps, or maybe learning how to waterski... whichever comes first.
