Last week, Jon’s junior kindergarten teacher came by his Grade 7 class to ask Jon to come read to her students (I think she teaches Grade 3 now, not sure).
I guess the books she picked (did she remember?) were The Cat and the Hat, and Green Eggs and Ham, which are two of Jon’s absolute all time favourites. By 2½, Jon had these two—among others—committed to memory, though he insisted on turning the pages, as though he was reading.
I gather it was a great experience, and a good time was had by all. I’ve gleaned this from slight mannerism variations in his very adolescent response “It was fine”. And by the fact that he arrived home with a thank you note signed by them all, AND a lovely bee plush animal (who looks suspiciously like the Honey Nut Cheerios bee. Between commercial shoots?)

Would you please contact me re the article I saw on one of your website addresses about the muscle-bound “bully” Whippet? Thanks. Fred
