A1 Gives In To Environmental Propaganda

I recently read Dr. Seuss' The Lorax to A1 and A2 during reading time. I love all the made-up words that Dr. Seuss uses in his books, and A1 loves the fun pictures and trying to figure out what a Bar-ba-loot is, and A2 just loves to sit with us and read. I also love reading environmentalist editorials dressed up as children's literature ("It makes me laugh," my sister told me a few weeks ago, and I have to agree).

I later found A1 sharing the story with her bear.And then I discovered that she had internalized the message: to save the environment, she now rides from room to room in our apartment on her bike, instead of using a gas-guzzler, like her feet.

My daughter: saving the environment one room at a time!
