Things Julia hates:

Moving backwards when she’s trying to move forwards, getting clothes pulled on over her head and arms, having her nose wiped

Single greatest tragedy in Julia’s life:

The fact that a plastic bag is not a toy

Things that will get a laugh most of the time:

Saying “I’m going to eat your chin” and then pretending to do it (other body parts are not as funny); tickling her ribs near her armpits; “moo,” said totally deadpan with no cow-like inflections

Books that make Julia smile from the first page:

Sandra Boynton’s Doggies, Vera B. Williams’ More More More Said the Baby, Jane Simmons’ Daisy Says Coo!, Baby Faces, Janet & Allan Ahlberg’s Baby Sleeps
