A delightful look back at the first year of my daughter's life

Before my daughter was born, I had read many books about newborns and how they change your life. Fortunately, my daughter was a relative angel; it was a rare occasion when she cried in the night, her regular hours were from 9AM to 9PM. Therefore, when I read this book, I found it difficult to relate to the cartoons that depicted a whiny, crying baby that keeps you up all night. However, I did relate to the other ones, especially those about how having a child completely changes your perspective. When you go anywhere, you think about the child and whatever you are doing, you switch back to being a parent at a certain time of the day or night. Parenting is one of the most joyous things you can ever do, and I confess that I do miss the days of dirty diapers, carrying and feeding a baby and singing to her. My wife and I were talking the other day about looking forward to having grandchildren so we can do it all over again. Reading this book reinforced that desire.

Mike's sweetie

Most new parents don't think the first 12 months of parenthood is a laughing matter...till they read this collection of 101 cartoons by Lynn Johnston. There's something about sleepless nights and babbling days that seems a lot funnier in a cartoon book.

Parenthood

This is a very fuuny book. It makes you see the lighter side of parenthood. I laughed through and through. What makes it more appealing is that over 20 years later I have experienced the same things that Lynn Johnston wrote about then.
