8 Days of Thankfulness
Today I am grateful for Dr. Seuss. He's pretty much the best children's book author ever. I remember one time as a kid on our way to the beach my mom pointed out his house and thought it was amazing. When I was four or five we all got Dr. Seuss books from the Santa at the Christmas party at my dad's work. For several years afterwards one of our favorite games was "oobleck", in which the floor became oobleck and we had to jump on furniture, toys, or books to escape. My mom hated it.
Dr. Seuss also wrote the most amazing ABC book ever. I had it memorized as a kid and have read it to both of mine. The interesting thing is, they have both loved it and through it have come to love the alphabet. S-Boogie called her letters "cees" for a long time, and Little Dude has recently started pointing out letters and saying "eee". It's also one of the few alphabet books to recognize that in the English language the letter X most commonly appears within words and not at the beginning. Genius.

And I don't think we've had two Thanksgivings or Christmases celebrated the same way. This year will be no exception.
