This was really sweet. I love your details, I can imagine everything. Very, very cute portrayal of Lucy, too. Your writing is just so fun to read. Great job.

P.S I so missed my shout out in your notes *squees*
I'm SO glad you took my advice (friendly begging more like) and turned this into a series... Lucy is my number one Halpert kid *smooshes her*

The first chapter is just to cute, and this second chapter is so true to life. I've seen my cousin deal with a similar situation with her three year old. Hope you've got a few more of these, I like this a lot! :)
Author's Response: Thanks, deedldee! i'm glad you think it's realistic - that's what i'm trying for! i've got some more ideas; the problem is having time to write them!

kaat, I'm so glad you expanded on this. Your characterizations are just perfect. The whole story is vivid and real. Such a fun read :)
Author's Response: aww, thanks so much for this sweet review!

Umm. hmm. let's see. GIGANTIC YES for this chapter!
Alright, so that doesn't really mean anything - but really, this was so sweet, realistic sounding (because I'd have no clue what it's like to be a mom. Don't get me started on babysitting little kiddies, though...). Really, this is just lovely. I love reading new chapters, seeing daddy Jim to the rescue. Also, I must add *whispers* I'm getting SOOO sick of all the baby and kid fic stories. Really boring now. But this is the only exception because it's so realistic and sweet and just perfectly done. So congrats, you're the only one I still want to read! lol. Another great chapter.
Author's Response: you are so sweet! :) that is such a great compliment - i will try my best to keep them as un-boring as i can! haha. thanks, pamelamorgan!

Hell yes is what I'm thinking. This is so unbelievable cute!!! I love Lucy, she sounds like such a cheeky little monkey - totally how I see Jim and Pam's kid, you know?
You nailed the characters perfectly, everything IMO was spot on. I cannot wait to read more of their adventures :)
Author's Response: oh, thank you Hannah! And thanks for your suggestion about turning it into a series! i probably wouldn't have otherwise! :)

This was beyond cute, and your Lucy is written very believeably. I also loved your first person Jim. Wonderful little story.

This is adorable, kaat. I think it's really hard to capture small children in a way that feels real but you've done it here! And your first-person Jim is great. It sounds and feels just like him. I love how he had to be grandma, and a little sister, and a dog, and he's just playing along. Sweet and wonderful. Good job!

Kaat, if I had a Lucy, I'd want another one, too. You've presented a lovely family portrait.

Okay that was so freaking cute I could cry. I think Lucy deserves a series of her own, what do you say? DO IT :)

really really beautiful
Love the way you did Lucy
When she said Mommy was Sleeeeeping, it reminded me of Michelle from Full House
"Quiet! The baby is sleeeeeeeping"

oh wow, that was so adorable. lucy is definitely the right amount of obnoxious and over energetic yet so adorable and perfect, too.
i love the line where lucy exclaims 'it's beating' and how pam asks for the pretend jello giving explicit reasons why. and lastly, jim's looks just for pam, his concern and love - beautifully done!
great chapter, keep going with this, i didn't check to see if it's a one-shot or not, but i think you could really do a lot more with this adorable little clan of three (and four-to-be!).

way cute. thanks for writing this and adding to the overflow of fics after the mtt crisis! ;) now continue "a million tiny pieces" and i'll be all set for christmas!

So completely adorable. Although i laugh, because they only have one kid. I just spent the week with 10 toddlers. And next week, 8 babies. Ha, one kid.
Although I also gotta admit, there's one day a week when the older ones get to go to ballet, and I absolutey treasure those 20 minutes when I only have the boys. (and then there's also playball and music... I'm so always looking for ways to get rid of those stinkin kids)

This was awesome! No need to feel unsure about this one! Easily a favorite! Thanks for posting!

This made me smile and smile - so warm and sweet, and incredibly well-written! The adoration Jim and Pam have for each other and for (the incredibly cute) Lucy is so tangible, and that makes me happy in a way I haven't really felt reading fic in a while. :) Thank you so much for this.

Oh happy day...this is the first time I've been able to use my computer to access MTT in soooo long and what should I find, but this glorious piece. So pretty and sweet. I LOVE Lucy and think that's a perfect name for their child. This is really delicious. Thanks for welcoming us all back with something so great!
Author's Response: lovefool, your stories are my favorite, so whenever i hear from you, it is such a treat! i'm so glad you liked this! now i'm just impatient for a REAL lucy :)
