Eeee, so sweet! I have an immense love for crawling babies. They just look so cute!! This is adorable. I love your little family :)

Author Reply: A love for crawling babies? Mine certainly is the love for smiling, chubby baby faces :)

Well, *I* can't resist him, that's for sure!

:D

Author Reply: Me neither, dear, me neither. *sighs*

:D

I could just imagin what sort of mischief he could get into. Primula has got her hands full for sure, and she'd only got one child to look out for. How could anyone resist? ;)

Author Reply: I sometimes wonder how Rosie could cope with 13 little rugrats.

Oh, I love it! You do this so well! You write Primula and Drogo as real people-not too angelic, as I've seen them portrayed in some other stories. And your baby Frodo is sooooo cute! Wow! You've really captured a mother's perspective here. The pride in such phrazes as "my darling child," "our little one," and even "our son" really shines. Excellent! God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Thank you so much! I try my best to capture a mother's perspective. And as for Drogo and Primula - they are the best of parents, but they are not perfect, simply because no one is.

"Drogo is my soul, but Frodo is my heart. He is the one who makes me and my little family complete." Just beautiful!

Some days ago I visited my friend and her little family (do you remember?) and I could see and feel that the bond between mother and child really is something very special.


Author Reply: Thank you! I tried my best in capturing the bond between mother and child. I hope one day I'll do as well as Primula.

Happy New Year, dear!

This is a lovely story, and I'll be sad to see it end. Your Primula is a wonderful mother.

He is the one who makes me and my little family complete.

Awww!

Author Reply: Believe me, I shall be very sad as well. I enjoyed "being" the mother and see Frodo grow through her eyes.

What a warm, loving story. I'm always so happy to see a new chapter appear.

Author Reply: The warm, loving story is slowly coming to an end, I fear.
I'm very glad you're enjoying this, dear.

Aha, quite the pair of Bagginses here, both charming and loving the woman of their hearts. And am glad that a night of pleasure is in view for the two parents.

Author Reply: Thank you! I just had to show Primula as a woman again... not only a mother.

AndreaReviewed Chapter: 17 on 11/23/2005
"O, those Bagginses and their smiles! I just cannot resist them." - Me, too :)

If Primula had had the chance to see her little boy growing up, she would have recognized a lot of herself in him. There is definitely the Baggins-stubbornness (English is amazing: double b, double n and double s in one word). But he has also inherited the charm of the Brandybucks - and their pride ;-)

Author Reply: You are quite right with your descriptions, at least when I look at future chapters of Schicksalsjahre eines Hobbits where Frodo will finally be descriped again :)

Ohhhh, "my dear little star asleep"... *melts*

The joyful smile on my husband's face and my son's peaceful expression are all a woman can wish for. In the fire's flickering light, they are the most beautiful sight I have ever seen.

*sigh* What a loving, sweet story this is.

Author Reply: I seldomly write as peaceful scenes as this one, but I must admit, I like it :)
