A Seussian Birthday

So, March 2nd was Dr. Seuss's Birthday. Whole week, momma was being reminded of it, who lazily doped all day long and grunted her yes and no. It had been two weeks that she had stuck herself to the bed, and the kids were now getting restless. In an attempt to keep them busy, books were ordered from the library, and a couple of activity sheets from Dr. Seuss's website were printed out and presented to them. She had to be reminded by the pint-sized people though that they need some instructions on how to proceed with them. That's when it dawned on her that, may be, she is required to be involved with them. Her eyes, heavy with the effect of the relaxants and pain-killers, could hardly keep themselves open. Dopily, she gave them the minimal of instructions and lay down on the couch, next to them, for the sole purpose of morale boosting.

The rhyming exercise was fun for both, whereas the hat matching proved to be a little tricky. Sugarbun chose to help her elder sis by providing her the hats to match, who did fairly well till she could concentrate i.e. 60% Afterwards, chinipie found herself getting distracted by the singing and dancing of sugarbun and hurried to finish the activity. That's when she got them wrong. She did fairly well, for her age, I would say. I would attempt to have her do this particular activity again - when I am better and am able to assist her with it.
