Tell me again...

Tell Me Again About the Night I was Born
by Jamie Lee Curtis
illustrated by Laura Cornell

My favorite adoption book... one day I'll write our daughters' stories for them in a similar way.

Seriously, the first time I read the book to Naomi I burst into tears and had to try to explain to an almost-2-year-old that they were happy tears!





Here's an excerpt from the book. You can find it at Amazon here.

"Tell me again about the night I was born."

"Tell me again how you got on an airplane with my baby bag and flew to get me and how there was no movie, only peanuts."

"Tell me again how you couldn't grow a baby in your tummy, so another woman was growing me and she would be my birth mother and you would adopt me and be my parents."

"Tell me again about the first time you held me in your arms and called me your baby sweet. Tell me again how you cried happy tears."

"Tell me again about my first diaper change and how I didn't like it at all."

"Tell me again about the first night you were my daddy and you told me about baseball being the perfect game, like your daddy told you."

"Tell me again about the first night you were my mommy and you sang the lullaby your mommy sang to you."

"Tell me again about our first night as a family."

"Mommy, Daddy, tell me again about the night I was born."
