"there is no one alive who is you-er than you"
I love Dr. Suess (obviously, I named my blog after a line from one of his books)! And to celebrate today, I’m sharing a poem.
Happy Birthday To You!
by Dr. Seuss
“If we didn’t have birthdays, you wouldn’t be you.
If you’d never been born,well then what would you do?
If you’d never been born,well then what would you be?
You might be a fish!
Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob!
Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full
of hard green tomatoes.”
of hard green tomatoes.”
“Or worse than all that…Why, you might be a WASN’T!
A Wasn’t has no fun at all. No, he doesn’t.
A Wasn’t just isn’t.
He just isn’t present.
But you…You ARE YOU!
And, now isn’t that pleasant!”
“Today you are you!
That is truer than true!
There is no one alive…
…who is you-er than you!Shout loud, “I am lucky to be what I am!
Thank goodness I’m not just a clam or a ham
Or a dusty old jar of sour gooseberry jam!
I am what I am!
That’s agreat thing to be!
That’s agreat thing to be!
If I say so myself,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!”

lucky number 7!
To my beautiful Munchkin on your 7th Birthday:
Wow… it seems like yesterday I was writing about your 6th birthday! And now you’re 7!
BigDaddy, Peanut and I love you very much!
Last year at this time, you had only lost one tooth!
Now you’ve lost 8 but 4 have come back!
What you’re up to these days?
- you’re reading at a grade 3/4 level (Levels M to O) and we’re working on your comprehension skills
- you’re still doing math for fun and really enjoy your math workbook
- you’re loving science
- you’re a great helper in the classroom
- you wear size 7/8 clothes and a size 3 shoe
- you chose “boy boots” this year because you didn’t want girl ones
- you’re 4′ 3.5″ tall and weigh 62 lbs
- you’re a Brownie now
- you can be a really great sister…most of the time
- you’re funny and you love telling jokes
- you got a big bike with hand brakes this summer and we enjoyed lots of long bike rides
We can’t wait to see what you can do by next year!
from their perspective
Between crafts from school and church, my girls gave me the best Mother’s Day presents ever!
This is what I got from Munchkin:
“If moms were flowers, I’d pick you”
And this is what Peanut made me at church:
My mom is 10 years old. She weighs 6 pounds and is
8 feet tall. Her favourite food is pancakes and for fun
she likes to help me. Her shoe size is 23. I love
my mom because she taught me to read. Her
favourite place to shop is at Zellers. My mom is pretty as a
princess. I know my mom is smart because she works on
her computer. She works very hard at loving me. I love
my mom because she calls me princess.

Happy Mother’s Day!!
A baby asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?”
“Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.”
God said, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel’s love and be very happy.”
Again the child asked, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?”
God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.”
“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?”
God said, “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.”
“Who will protect me?”
God said, “Your angel will defend you even if it means risking it’s life.”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.”
God said, “Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, “God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel’s name.”
“You will simply call her, ‘Mom.'”
