Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

I read to my wee-little babies a lot.

I make funny faces, giving it all that I got.

I talk in high-pitched voices and my finger, I wiggle.

I love to see Hunter and Penelope giggle.

Alright, I'm no Dr. Seuss -- did you know it's his birthday today? In honor of The Cat in the Hat, it's also Read Across America day.

Excellent! I'll be sure to read from The Big Blue Book of Beginner Books by Dr. Seuss today. Sure my twins are too young to understand, but love hearing me talk and I have to admit, Dr. Seuss is entertaining...even to big ole me!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

What will you be reading in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday and Read Across America day today?

About the author Michele Zipp

loves vintage and will defend skinny jeans to the death though she is highly superstitious and "death" is probably a bad word choice. She has a touch of the hoarding disease and enjoys sleuthing, the worst reality shows, and wearing high heels, even at the playground. She's an AP mom of twins, slightly crunchy but with a pedicure.

We are going to make Oobleck tonight. Abby will get a kick out of that, I am sure. The link to instructions is in my post, if you are interested - http://www.cafemom.com/journals/read/1579520/Happy_Birthday_Dr_Seuss

I love Dr Suess too. Maybe we'll have a dog party, a big dog party tonight. I used to read There's a Wocket in your pocket all the time to my oldest when he was little. I read it so much I had it memorized. Maybe I'll dig it out to read to them again tonight.

Oh and because we had a funeral today, my son missed out on getting his birthday cake at school for Dr. Suess's birthday so I'll be making him one this week just to make up for it. Wonder if I can find some cute Dr Suess party hats or maybe find a way to make some. Hmmm. Then we can have green eggs and ham for dinner too.

Yes I will be reading them their book of Dr. Seuss Favorites, it is a HUGE book of over thirty of his most popular titles. Also my dd's school, as many across the country participated in Dr. Seuss's Birthday, and dressed up as Cindy Lou Who, it was a Hooobileeee.
