This is one of Thomas' favorite books. He knows where to find the mouse on each page and before doing so he always poses the question "Where'd it go?" and delights that he knows the answer. It's a simple pleasure.
Needless to say he was memorized by the scene, the puppets, the narration and music. He sat motionless on Brent's lap with eyes wide open. I would ask, "Thomas, do you see the mouse?" and a small nod was all he could offer. It was his first theatrical debut and I have to assume he was quite impressed. Our local theater house offered this production based on the book by Margaret Wise Brown. They did a fabulous job, both with the set and telling the story. It was the perfect length and the kids didn't have to be quiet. We had a great afternoon, the three of us, experiencing yet another "first" in Thomas' life.
It makes me so happy to introduce T to different things; a new park, puddles after a big rain storm, books, a live production, music, and yes, even bugs. It's amazing to see him learn and find excitement. I am trying to be present in every moment and appreciate every feeling because time passes too quickly. My little boy is growing up.

Hi Liz! Feeling much better out here.. but just wanted to comment that we took my cousin's little girl to a theater prod. of Goodnight Moon when she was here last spring... It was so cute and so neat to see her reaction to it all.. she LOVED it too. And of course we both got the 'bunny' in the theater lobby afterward... :)
It does go too fast, doesnt it? Its sad to see them grow up so quickly but also wonderful to see them so strong and animated to learn the world.
Hey Liz! Every once in a while I get to check out your blog so I can see how you guys are doing. I really enjoy the pics of Thomas and of course you and Brent. It must be a wonderful experience to be there when Thomas makes his discoveries. Take care and tell Brent hi!
