Terrible Yellow Eyes

So, this one time I had a dream. It was more of a nightmare, really. Little Caleb was about a month old and in my dream he was walking! I suppose this could be a happy event, but for me it was horrifying. One-month-old babies are not supposed to walk. They are not built for it. He was just hobbling around on his malformed legs and really freaking me out. And then he turned his head to look at me and his eyes turned yellow! That was when I woke up and had to laugh at myself despite the lingering feelings of uneasiness. Good news though! My baby is not a mutant and he still has blue/gray eyes.
This story does have a point. It is the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of this blog, which is fantastic. It is a tribute to Maurice Sendak, author and illustrator of Where the Wild Things Are. A "visual love letter," if you will. Go take a look!
