And I have one more Theoism to write about. The other day a friend of mine asked Theo if he had any pets. Theo responded by saying that he had a mole, a slug and a bat! He got this from a book titled 'Who is Your Favorite Monster, MAMA?' by Barbara Shook Hazen. It's a fantastic book - and it has been a great way to make Theo less afraid of monsters - which he has on occasion seen in the dark corners of his room or under his bed.
In this book there are three Monster children; Bruxley (the oldest boy), Harry (the middle child), and Bronwen (the baby). Bruxley knows that Mama Monster loves him, Bronwen knows that Mama Monster loves her. But Harry thinks that Mama Monster loves his brother and sister more than she loves him. And so the story goes on. Harry also has three creepy beasties (aka pets); a mole by the name of Tiny, a slug by the name of Slimy and a bat by the name of Whiny. Theo just loves these three beasties (especially Whiny - he always points to Whiny's picture in the book and tells me that Whiny is his favourite!) - and totally surprized me when he told my friend that they were his pets (instead of talking about our dog Loup and our cat Chloe)!
When I read this book to Theo at night he absolutely loves it when I insert his name into the following passage from the book, in which the monster momma croons...
“Euuu, my cute little monster child, I love the way you warm my wild. I love your warts and baby bristles. I love your nails as soft as thistles. I love your fangs and furry nose. I love you, Theo, head to toes.”
For those of you that may be interested in this book, here is a picture of the cover.
This book really is 'FANTABULOUS' (a word Theo just loves to say - it's in this book)!!!!
I have one other thing that I would like to write about today. Well, to show to those of you that read this blog anyways. It's this video that my friend Maha had posted on Facebook today. It made me cry. And it is something to think about...
Over and out for now!
