I loved this book from beginning to end. Along with some entertaining history, this is a beautifully woven tale. To my mind, a good novel has unexpected twists and surprises .. and this book carried one beautiful surprise all the way through.
This book stirred in me an affection for elephants that I hadn’t felt since childhood. Along with The Magician’s Elephant by Kate DiCamillo, Water for Elephants helped to inspire the painting “The Gentle Somnambulist” which is included in my book TREASURE Twenty One Paintings and a Key.
In The First Light

Our favorite bottles are the Evenflo fashion tints – they’re also BPA free and about the same price as these. We’re not bottle snobs by any means!!!

I tried these because the store had only these, no Evenflos. They seemed so similar, I thought it would be fine.

We got the ones with the silicone nipples. Latex wigs me out. Who wants to taste rubber?

The nipples are a little skinnier than the Evenflo ones. One baby showed some dislike for this, the other didn’t seem to care (I have twins). It wasn’t a huge deal.

What I really didn’t like, though, was that these bottles seem to collapse on us. The baby will get to sucking and the bottle starts to cave in, the nipple collapses, you have to pull the bottle out and let it puff back up. Maybe it’s because they don’t vent as well as the Evenflos or maybe because the plastic is thinner – the Evenflos feel sturdier.

Basically they’re adequate but not our favorite. We use them when everything else is dirty.

The price is nice, you can pump into which is nice (though I suggest the SMALLER ones for pumping) – I just don’t like how they collapse. For the same price get Evenflo in the bpa free – you’ll be happier. If this is all you can find, though, it’ll do.
First Essential Clear View

I was able to put this together by myself — amazing! I have used it several times now and it is easy to use and does a great job. It sucks most of the water up so that the carpet dries really fast. I would recommend it!
