A Quiet Dr. Seuss Day Celebration

March 2, 2009 By Laura 12 Comments

We just wanted to share with you a peek into our quiet Dr. Seuss Day celebration.

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

~  Dr. Seuss


dr-seuss-day-ideas_1

Earlier today, we celebrated the 105th birthday of Dr. Seuss.  It was a much quieter celebration, than our usual fanfare, because most of our kiddos (6 years old triplets) are a bit under the weather.  Low grade fevers, little coughs and headaches, and a big dose of the ‘Quiets’.  That’s just who they are today. Actually, 1/4 is recovering, 2/4 are pretty down and out by this time of the day, and 1 was out playing in the new-fallen snow.   But late this morning and early afternoon, they were up for a little quiet fun and reading. We did some Dr. Seuss – themed face painting for them, for the occasion.

Dr. Seuss was a man of wise words.  One of my personal favorite quotes from him is:

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”

That’s one I try to keep in the forefront of my mind, because we need to remember it frequently!  It’s so hard for us to understand why some people are the way they are.   So what to do?  Well,  another Seuss quote comes in handy as well:

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

Enough said there. lol


We’re blessed in that all 4 of our kids truly do love reading. They just love books, and always have. And we know that will take them a long, long way in life.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

The little ones are quite beyond their grade level in reading, so the Dr. Seuss books are at this point, way too simple for them.  They are reading chapter books now. But today, as we celebrate this gifted author and artist, for his great contributions to children’s literature, we honor the value of his non-sensicals, that are so cleverly woven with his words of wisdom, which even an adult can gleam advice from.   So we all enjoyed his books today, none-the-less.

It was the perfect activity, for a day that called for quiet and rest.

Here’s another great quote, that simply must be a Pro-Life declaration!:

“A person’s a person, no matter how small.”


triplets-dr-seuss-day_4

They were somewhat smiley this morning, as quiet as they were. But as you know how fevers go….as they day wore on, they were feeling less and less their best.  I sure hope they feel better tomorrow. Meanwhile, we’ll keeping enjoying the quiet, and  giving cuddles.  Things could be worse!  lol

Thanks for dropping in!  See you again soon, perhaps!

“Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.”

    I love Dr. Suess. One of Christian’s favorite books is “The Cat in the Hat.” He can almost quote the book all the way through. It’s pretty entertaining to listen to.

    What do I see, oh what do I see…
    Can it be, can it be, can it be what I see…

    Little cheeks, little cheeks, and smiling at me…
    On the cheeks you say, is it true..oh me!
    I wonder where next the “hat” will be…
    On a nose, on a foot, on a hinnie or knee..
    Oh where, oh where, oh where will it be!!!!

    We celebrated at our house too. Read one Dr. Suess book after another, then made Cat in the Hat hats for a craft followed by green (scrambled) eggs and ham for lunch. As we ate, we listened to our oldest give a biography book report on Theodore Geisel. Wonder what’s up for this day next year???

    I came across your blog at another site. I am very impressed with your photographs of the children. Would you share what kind of camera you use? I’ve had a point and shoot for years and am ready to invest in something better, but need some tips.
    Thanks, Beverly

      – A couple of Christmas’s ago, some friends of ours gave each of our kids some books from Kohl’s too, with matching stuffed animals. They were by P.D. Eastman though, whose work was often confused with Dr. Seuss’s. Those books and animals the little ones got were ‘Go Dog Go’, ‘Let me Be In The Zoo’, and ‘Are You My Mother?’. Seeing them brought me right back my childhood…I hadn’t seen them in so long!

      Christine

    – We’re glad to have you come here!! : )
    They ARE great quotes to have around. Glad you enjoyed it all. : )
    ~~~
    No one is better today, yet. Another quiet day of cuddles and reading. They did some school work this morning, and then their temps spiked again. They’ll be ok, although my son did take note: “I’m not having fun!” He’s not much used to that! lol
