Dr. Seuss

This past weekend there were several events around town to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday and promote literacy. We are generally up for about anything free that may even remotely entertain the boys. This literacy event was pretty cute and there were a ton of volunteers on the floor reading with kids. We walked around to a few of the stations and played a few games. Nolan about jumped out of his skin with excitement when he saw that there was a place where he could play the violin.

He has always been drawn to this instrument. I played the violin for a very short time - in kindergarten- but I remember it clearly and I remember the recitals, and I remember how hidious it all sounded. Could I live through that again??? I just don't know!! ;)

Elliott also loved trying it out.

They let the kids pick out 4 books each and as we were leaving there was a creepy man dressed up and reading "If I Ran the Zoo". Elliott was totally into it. After he was done reading, Elliott ran up to the creepy man, handed him one of his new books, and proceeded to climb up on his lap.

 

Maybe we need to work on "appropriate fear of creepy men strangers"! ;)
