“You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.” - Dr. Seuss
Tomorrow, March 2, is Dr. Seuss's birthday! In our house, we celebrate all things Suess. (Before I was Jack's mom, I was an elementary librarian.) Even before I was pregnant with Jack, I bought just one baby item...a crib sheet covered in Seuss characters (which translated into an awesome Seussical bedroom for our little boy.) Jack has always had a love of Suess (like his mama); probably because I started reading Seuss books to him in the NICU! A few of his favorites:
Dr. Seuss's ABC,
Ten Apples Up On Top,
There's a Wocket in my Pocket,
Mr. Brown Can Moo. My friends and family threw me a Seussian baby shower, a few weeks after Jack's early arrival. We even had a Seussical first birthday party celebration for Jack. I'm not sure how we will celebrate tomorrow...maybe some green eggs and a few Seuss read-alouds? Here's a little flashback of all things Seuss in our family...in pictures. (I figured the last post was a little "heavy" and needed something a little more fun today!)

We celebrated the Jack's first Seuss birthday with a tube free photo shoot and a little poem, in Seuss-style, of course.
Oh no! Where'd my O2 go?
Is it in a box? Or in my socks?
I do not know.
What happened to my flow?

| Last year, we celebrated by having "Books with Breakfast" and by wearing his Cat in the Hat shirt. Jack was 18 months old (March 2012). | | | | | | | |
Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
