mo' screaming toddler


Yep, that's me, JAM and Red meeting my most favorite children's book author ever. And yep, that's Red screaming her bloody head off, because... who knows why. Some days it seems like that girl is out to get me. So, while I didn't get to stay in the bookstore to hear all of Mo Willem's read alouds or get to watch as JAM answered one of his questions into the microphone or get to come off as a crazy-blog-stalker when we had our 1.5 minutes of face-to-face time book signing moment ("Hi, I read your blog religiously and leave comments all the time-- that's me, morninglight mama, do you recognize me from my little ID photo? Do ya? Do ya??"), I think we may have made an impression on dear Mo. (I mean, c'mon-- how many people got to take this photo with him??)


postscript: I was thrilled to see that dear Mo posted this picture of my crazed little girl on his own blog-- so if you've ventured over here from his site, welcome! If you liked this wackadoo story, stick around, I've got plenty more!
