Adorable...so adorable. I love your baby!Pip! eating dust--that was so funny--i love your Merry and Frodo too in this story. This is the perfect bedtime story fro me. :)
Lovely dear~ glad i finally got to read this. :)

Author Reply: Thank you dear! We caught my own baby cousin trying to eat dust many times. :D
I'm very glad you enjoyed this, and Frodo and Merry here. *hugs*

Trust our Pippin to find a way of wangling food from an early age. Just hilarious!

Author Reply: Everyone has to start somewhere, and Pippin is no exception! I'm so glad you enjoyed. Thank you! :)

It's no wonder that Pippin spent a fair amount of time being supervised by his cousins - and his sisters - and anyone else available. His poor mother must have been completely exhausted. Indomitable barely begins to describe him!

Author Reply: Indomitable is a good word to describe Pippin! It certainly takes a lot of energy and effort to keep up with him :)
Thanks for reading, Bodkin!

Oh my, did he really eat dust?
On the other hand I can understand that something that looked so fluffy found its way into little Pippin's mouth! Tookish curiosity at it's best ;-)

I loved the moment when Merry was teasing Frodo by using Frodo's own words:
"He's teething," Merry supplied helpfully. "Babies do that."

A sweet and funny little story, that I enjoyed very much!

Author Reply: He did eat it! Just as my little cousin used to do... :) And as you say, it all has to do with that Tookish curiousity. I'm so glad you liked wee Merry here. He's so practical as an adult, that I figured he would be the same as a child, much to Frodo's chagrin. Thanks for reading, Andrea! :)

Eeeewwwww! The child has no tastebuds yet, obviously ;)

So cute. I like how Merry was suprised at the small places Pip could fit :)

Author Reply: Heehee! Well, I mentioned it in my lj but forgot to add it here, but one of my little cousins used to eat dust, and that is how I got the idea for this :)
Thanks for reading, Pearl!
