Tonight I sent Noelle and Jonny to see Transformers (I think it's a movie) together. Kate, who was made to play outside all morning (Tough life, right?) and then be 'Mom' all the way to Austin and back, was quite naturally feeling cheated out of a whole day by that fast aproaching blanket of darkeness which she whoafully refers to as 'Bedtime.'
Since Reagan and George were passively traveling to tomorrow land, I decided to find out whether or not Kate would like a Peter Rabbit story. At the end of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Katie 'wasn't tired.' So we read Benjamin Bunny, Squirrel Nutkin, and Two Bad Mice. At the end of Jeremy Fisher... Kate fell asleep. I've concluded that Katie indeed does enjoy Beatrix Potter's characters.
P.s. If you are planning to read Squirrel Nutkin to your child, it helps to remind them durring the suspensful parts that Nutkin will not die. He does lose his tail though, so don't promise that, "Nothing bad will happen". :)
