| Looking through some of your older stories and saw this... very funny and quite true, LOL. And, OMG, lemon bread! Those lemons keep sneaking in. Author Reply: I think lemons snuck into "Reflections of the Past", too. What fun. Thanks for reading! :) | |

| Linguistically sound? Hehehehehehehe! Lovely! Yes, Frodo knows how to care for babies! Author Reply: Heeee, this was such fun to write. It's the small, gentle moments in life that often bring us the most delight. | |

| *snerk* "Sammy-wammy", eh? And I loved Frodo's trying to hide the baby talk from Bilbo, LOL! Author Reply: I don't think Bilbo missed much around Bag End, but it's fun to think that Frodo thought he did, LOL. | |

| Enjoyed this again. It makes me laugh the way Frodo is trying to be so proper and then fails like all adults around little, adorable babies. : ) Author Reply: Thank you for reading again! Yes, our serious, scholarly hobbits are not immune to the goo-goo charms of babies. | |

| *giggles* I meant to review this when you first posted but have only just hauled myself out from under all the fluff! Really lovely tale, Shirebound, although I have to say Frodo sounds very grown up for 12 - 13! Is he one of those precocious children who use excessively long words? *coughs in embarrassed fashion* I notice one of your readers mentions Frodo having lots of practice with Merry but Merry isn't born yet, so perhaps it was the other way round?! In my story of Frodo's childhood I have him bonding with baby Sam at an early stage, and I think it is so sweet. BTW, I'm with Bilbo - I don't do nappies either! I have managed to reach my advanced state of decrepitude without changing a single one! :-)) Author Reply: Frodo's dialogue is rather adult here, but that's just the way this fluff-fest demanded to be written. Ah well! Glad you enjoyed! Yes, I've somehow managed to avoid the Ordeal of the Diaper as well... so far. :) | |

| “And one of those hard biscuits for Sam to chew on, please,” Frodo said. “The rascal is gnawing on my buttons.” He lowered his voice. “Aren’t you, Sammy wammy? Aren’t you trying to gobble up my button wuttons?” “What was that, Frodo?" Bilbo called out. “Nothing, Bilbo,” Frodo replied hastily. “I was just reminding Sam about proper speech etiquette and linguistics.” *snort*snicker*bursts into giggles* Oh, my goodness gracious! Proper linguistics indeed! Yeah, right, Frodo! LOL! This brings back recent memories. I don't baby-talk to babies (“You have to address babies seriously,” Frodo informed his uncle. “How else will they learn to speak properly?”"), but when it comes to my puppies, I'm worse than Frodo! One of my friends who isn't given to cooing over animals too much (so says she *smirks*), is always cracking me up by imitating me! This is cute! God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Yes, puppies bring out the baby-talk in the best of us, don't they? Glad you enjoyed this, QG. :) | |

| Awwww! I have read many lovely pieces over time showing when Sam and Frodo might have first bonded. This is certainly the earliest one. The strong bonds of friendship they shared must have had deep roots. So, why not? I have seen time after time, grown-ups who are normally quite serious getting all mushy-brained and silly when clowning with a baby. This certainly rings true! Oh, I put in my vote for Bilbo finding ways to avoid diaper duty, no matter how many infant cousins came to call! Author Reply: I get *totally* silly around babies, the poor things! I think Bilbo will somehow continue to avoid diaper detail, that clever hobbit. :) | |

| Sigh...Fluff, fluff and more fluff. Just what a chilly and damp spring evening calls for. :o) Loved Frodo's serious linguistics lessons. *giggle* Brought back some lovely memories. I used to call my Puss Puss my kitten witten. :o) Wonderful little story shirebound. :o) Author Reply: Awww, kitten witten! I love it. I'm so happy you enjoyed this, Tigger. :) | |

| Sammy wammy? LOL! Very sweet and I'm sure Frodo is well versed from all his years in the Hall and from changing and babysitting Merry and other faunts in how to do things. My sister and I tried changing our first nephew's diaper once and we told our sister to ignore all the cries he made and all that. We never did accomplish it. But Frodo is right, even if he goes back on his own words moments later, that one should talk grown-up to babies even though they have no clue. I've always done that. I don't go along with 'baby talk' though it was having me laughing here. Sam won't remember any of this, but his heart will. And I hope Frodo always does. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Sam won't remember any of this, but his heart will. Awww, I just love that. I'm glad you enjoyed this. | |

| Sammy wammy.....*snerrrrkkkkk* who else could get away with something like THAT?? LOLOLOL Author Reply: Can you imagine how adorable a tiny hobbit baby would be? I'd be coooooing away. :) | |
