(*) Fox in Socks

Ix was sooooooo adorable tonight... he stopped and made time to sit down and read the classic Dr Seuss "Fox in Socks" to me over the phone (he's 6)... heart-melting moment! He really didn't want to go... he even said "I love you dad!" - getting all soppy here! Oh thank ford for that!

My mum bought the boys the complete Dr Seuss collection a few years ago, so it's just unreal to see them reading them like this! My favourite when I was a 5-yo was "I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew"... my boys still have my original copy, along with it's replacement!

Oh come on - admit it! You had a favourite Dr Seuss book as a kid, eh? What was it...?

She likes to read the Disney Princess books, but has no interest in Dr. Seuss whatsoever. That really blows, because I loved them when I was little. I guess we all have our favorites. Maybe Chase will like them. Skyler has my entire book collection. My parents kept every single book I had growing up. Remember all those Little Golden Books? That's great you still have your favorite copy to pass on to your sons.

And thats a damn cute moment - not quite the same kind of couch moment as mine, but still up there with couch moments to aspire too.

You just have to melt when your children read to you...

Thanks for reading my blog and giving me nice compliments! Love hearing from other countries.

I'm a 42-yo Aussie divorced dad, & have a great sense of absurd humour ie. The Goons & Python! I love listening to and playing music as well, especially British '60's stuff like The Beatles. I enjoy listening - to the sounds around me (taking a moment to stop and 'listen' to the roses?!?) I love to read a good novel, biography, or Robert Lowell's poetry. One day I'll finally get to visit Hydra, Greece!
