THE CAT IN THE HAT MEETS LUKE...

Today, at a local bookstore, there was a 'party' on to celebrate Dr Seuss' 106th birthday. There was cake (it was free, so naturally it was gone in a flash) and they had 'The Cat In The Hat' come in and visit the children and let them get pictures taken. There was suppose to be Dr Seuss story time too, but I think with all the chaos of everyone trying to meet The Cat In The Hat, story time never came to be.

PLAYING WITH ELMO (HE WAS FOR SALE AT THE BOOKSTORE) WHILE WE WAITED FOR OUR TURN TO TAKE PICTURES


So many of the kids there didn't want to go get their picture taken, because they were afraid... one little boy, perhaps about 4 years old, got pretty upset at one point when The Cat In The Hat got too close. Funny thing about that, is that Luke was probably the youngest child there, and I had a number of people say that he is probably just going to freak out when I take him up to meet The Cat In The Hat... but that's the thing about my little monster... he is yet to be afraid of anything. In his almost 10 months of life, he has literally faced everything, head on.... hyperactive dogs, snooty cats, skittish lambs, and The Cat In The Hat...Luke just looks them in the eyes and shows no fear. I am not sure if that is a good or a bad thing... isn't fear sometimes necessary???

CLEARLY LUKE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY PETRIFIED...Lol


NOT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED IN GETTING HIS PICTURE WITH THIS FUNNY LOOKING CREATURE...

Anyway, after our cake and pictures at the Dr Seuss party, we headed into the mall, and Luke, daddy and I shared some cinnamon pretzel sticks and a cup of lemonade... Luke had his fill of sugar and fun for night, and now he is passed out... though, sadly, I doubt it's for the night!

So fun, but Luke looks quite bored by the cat!!! Looks like you are enjoying living in NC.

He is such a cutie, I'm sure that is all that saves him some days. I would have loved to have been there too, I dig Dr Seuss.

Apparently my BIL had spanked (note I said spanked and not beaten) one of his kids with a wooden spoon some time back and the kid was less than impressed about it, so he went up to his room in a mad mood with a stinging bott and drew this on the building block. We found it on Thursday and all thought it was hysterical, don't you just love the sizzling detail of his butt, it's so expressive. Had us in hoots of laughter for ages.
