SteelyKid is on a big Dr. Seuss kick at the moment, so, some observations:

  • The Cat in the Hat is way better than The Cat in the Hat Comes Back.
  • "We saw ALL the things fall" now makes me think of Hyperbole and a Half, per the icon, in a joke that will probably be forgotten by the time SteelyKid is old enough to understand it.
  • Green Eggs and Ham is not a good model for personal relationships.
  • It is, to my surprise, possible to do the nod-off-snap-awake whiplash thing while actually reading aloud.

    Good night (moon, room, cow jumping over the moon, light and the red balloon), everybody.

I believe it's never too early to start learning to read critically, even at the "read to" stage.

I agree! It's just annoying to have to end every reading (multiple times a day, even) contradicting the story I've just spent ages reading out loud, you know?
