Oh my, again you can feel the Primula's love in every word she writes...You do that really so well. I love how you described her worrying and wanting to put all her energy into caring for Frodo, and how Drogo is proud of him. But the sweetest part was the one with Bilbo - awesome, really!

Author Reply: The bond between Frodo and Bilbo existed from the very begining.

Watching him holding Frodo in his arms almost brings tears to my eyes. I think he is now realising what he missed in his life. He is ever so gentle with my dear baby and already tells him tales about far-off places. If Bilbo continues like this Frodo will come to love stories and be as eager to hear them as Drogo was as a child. I can see Frodo loves Bilbo also. He seldom complains when the old hobbit takes him into his arms and listens to his uncle's soft words intently. Usually Frodo will look at him with bright eyes and the fleeting shadow of a smile that melts his uncle's heart

Awwwww. I think it's very meaningful that Frodo was born on Bilbo's birthday, thus setting up a special relationship and bond that Bilbo felt with no other hobbit.



Author Reply: I think so too! The fact that they share the same birthday definitely bonded them even more than they would have anyhow.

Oh, Lily, you must write more of these! They are so heart-warming and sweet, and I mean that in the most complimentary way. I loved the image of Bilbo holding Frodo and already filling his head with tales of adventure. How I would love to see Bilbo come to the house and see the first celebration of their shared birthday. The comment about little Frodo's stubbornness was delightful, as we know how very stubborn he grew up to be. Surely there are more chapters waiting to be written!

Author Reply: Initally I thought to stop about 6 months after Frodo's birth, since mommy definitely will lack time with every day Frodo gets older, but the picture of a shared birthday needs to be considered. I will add that to my notebook of chapters-to-come.

Again, thank you so much for your sweet words! They mean a lot to me!

Another great chapter, or should I say entry. I love the way Bilbo takes care of Frodo, and that he is already telling him stories, even though he's just a baby. Please update soon!

Author Reply: I cannot picture Bilbo doing anything else than filling his young nephew's head with adventures.
