for the first day

A new pair of Mocs.

Quinn is really into them. 
It's my watered-down take on the triabl trend for fall. 
Because, I love mocassins. 

I wasn't quite as on the ball with everything I wanted to prepare for the Equinox, but it was still a really lovely day.  We lit our new mealtime candle for Autumn and had pancakes for breakfast.  I pulled our box of Autumn nature table decorations out and set it up while the boys were napping.  We were going to have a special dinner, but our neighbors threw an impromptu potluck in their fairy-lit yard, and that just felt like the right thing to do.  And -- watching Pan run with the "big kids" -- it totally was.

We gave the boys two new books for the Equinox, Winter Lullaby and Autumn.  We're experiencing a bit of a dry spell with the reading just now.  We need some new books.  And I need some recommendations.

What books for the 0-3 age range do you love?  I'm thinking mostly board books (which tend to be either really dumb or all about counting and the alphabet -- for toddlers!), because we're still a bit rough for paper pages.  We love the seasons series by Gerda Muller, and are on the look-out for books similar to this.  Illustrations that are beautiful and rich in detail, with few to no words.  Please, recommend!  

Here's to a new cycle of days,
