The CAT in the HAT in a whole new LIGHT

Last night I was putting the boys to bed when DR. SEUSS' THE CAT IN THE HAT brought a whole new dimension of FUN to our lives. Coleton picked the book to read, so I sat in the rocking chair with Coleton on one leg and Easton on the other and began reading...."The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play..." We got to the part "Lots of good fun that is FUNNY......a lot of good TRICKS. I will show them to you." Immediately, I could feel the EXCITEMENT coming from Coleton when the words FUNNY & TRICKS were said....(the light started to come on in my head.) We continue on with the story... When I saw the picture of the cat STANDING on a ball balancing a fish in a bowl and other items the light totally came on in my head.....Coleton is going to try to BALANCE on a ball holding a glass bowl full of water!!!! " 'HAVE NO FEAR!' said the cat. 'I will not let you fall. I will hold you up high as I stand on a ball...." I asked Coleton if he thought this trick was neat to which he replied, "YES, I AM GOING TO TRY IT."

I am going to have to keep a CLOSE eye on him today because I know that just TELLING him about the HUGE mess it would make and the BROKEN HEAD it will cause, will not deter him from actually trying it! It should be an interesting day!
