It's no secret that we are big fans of Sesame Street in our house! Sesame Street just celebrated their 40th anniversary and the Brooklyn Public Library is running a special exhibit--Sesame through the years. When we heard that Elmo was doing a "meet and greet" we knew we had to take Piper. It was a ridiculous zoo of people at the library, but somehow we ended up in the right line to get a ticket to meet Elmo. The video below really shows how much Piper enjoyed it. I think she would have preferred to stay longer. I know it looks like Mommy is enjoying it much more than Piper, but she really was impressed!
Who doesn't love "Where The Wild Things Are" right now?! (This was on the library wall) On a side note, I thought it might be fun to keep the momentum going from the movie and read other Maurice Sendak books to my Kindergarten class. Trust me, the Wild Things is probably his tamest book. The other stories have strange characters, weird story plots, and even weirder illustrations. Even his book In the Night Kitchen, which has a great story, shows a little boy losing his clothes and running (or floating?) around naked which Kindergartens can't move past because they are giggling so much.
