In our house Dr. Seuss is one of the favorites! We decided to celebrate his birthday last week with some green eggs and ham for dinner followed up by a evening of reading. My favorite thing about this year was that I wasn't the only one reading - Savannah took a turn...
as well as Xander! Xander read Green Eggs and Ham almost entirely by himself! He's getting so close to his personal goal of being able to read books by himself; I am so proud of him. I always turn to Dr. Seuss books to help my new readers - they are the best!
Favorite moment of the evening - as Xander read about Sam-I-am continuously trying to get his friend to eat green eggs and ham, Savannah sighed loudly and said, "I think Sam should just leave him alone!"

What a fun birthday! What a great mom!
I'm glad that your kids are another generation who love Dr. Seuss! He had such fun with language, and reading his books create such wonderful memories! I think it's so neat that you even KNEW when his birthday was, much less that you celebrated it! Why does Xander look so unhappy when he did such a great job?!
Totally stealing this idea next year. Love it!
