The late Heather Armstrong (dooce.com) tells the story of her daughter’s toddlerhood in her book Dear Daughter: The Best of the Dear Leta Letters.
It was my husband’s idea: Take pictures of the baby every day on the same playmat, then edit them together into a time-lapse video.

Years ago, singing my baby to sleep in his room, I would often end up in the same key as the electrical hum in the background. This song is a lullaby featuring a baby's room soundscape, complete with humidifier drone and baby toys.
This song was written for Brendan, the young son of a labor attorney and a Presbyterian minister who works with people experiencing homelessness. Brendan’s parents are avid runners who have finished marathons together. Running Song is a musical portrait of Brendan’s family, a message of love and encouragement from parents to their son. It’s also an explanation for a young child about why his parents’ jobs are important, why they get up at dawn and go to work every day. This song is about families looking out for each other and working together to make the world a better place.
