A few weeks ago a former co-worker of mine posted a picture of her daughter with Clifford the Big Red Dog. Clifford had come to the Barnes & Noble in Millbury for story time. We didn't know about this event but we checked out the website for future events and found out that Curious George would be there on March 3rd. Curious George! THE Curious George who is Evan's best buddy! Well we couldn't miss it!
We actually had plans to take Evan to RI in the late morning for his first sleepover with Danny and Sean while Bruce and I attended Laurel and Kyle's wedding in CT. Had it been any other character, except for maybe Pooh Bear, we would have skipped it and stuck to our original plan but we couldn't skip George! Thankfully Evan and I had met Amelia and Connor for story time the day before and saw how crowded it was. We knew it would be more so on a weekend, especially with a character visiting so we made sure to get there early.
They read two stories, Curious George Makes Pancakes and Curious George at the Aquarium, and then George came out for photos. We waited a little while for the crowd to die down and then Evan got his turn to meet George.
I asked Evan if he wanted to go with mommy to meet George or on his own and he said "With Mommy." So we both went up and said hello to George while Bruce took pictures. Evan said hi to George, gave him a kiss and then said "Thank you, George" as our turn was ending. After all the kids had had a turn, the woman from the library said that kids could come up again for one more photo before George had to leave. This time, our big boy decided he wanted to go up on his own. Evan marched right up on the little stage and stood next to George, all by himself, then gave him a high-five. We were so proud of our little guy!
