Since New York City is the coolest place to live we got to do a really cool thing today...that's right folks we actually got to MEET Mo Willems!!! How cool! He just happens to live in Brooklyn so he had a book signing at Bryant Park. I was very star struck and could barely talk as he gazed into my eyes. I did manage to correct him on my daughters name and told him we were big fans. No but seriously E was sooooooooooo excited! She loves the pigeon books and Knuffle bunny which she pronounces Kunuffle bunny(we have this discussion quite often but she insists that you pronounce the K) He was very sweet and played a high five game with her. I would post the video that we took but I have no clue how to post it. Oh and he wrote in her book "E Rocks" although she really wanted him to write "thanks for reading" E loves to read and write and asks I wonder what the author was thinking....so cute! She actually just wrote a book called "all about birth" and talks about the different birthing options women have...hah! C says she is my little foot soldier. Oh and she saw a girl who we think is THE Trixie from Knuffle Bunny, but it wasn't actually confirmed.

You are totally going to laugh at me but I have never read this book. I guess I'll have to make a trip to the store and buy it.
PS The Daniel's meal was a set price for 6 courses. So it wasn't like we went crazy although I did get a fun smoothie type drink for only $9 (yeah what a rip off).

Sounds fun... gotta love NYC! We've read both these books.. what about Don't let the Pigeon drive the Bus... cute. Especially since we have so many dang Pigeons here.. I just read Knuffle Bunny last week actually. Cute.
Claire loves Knuffle Bunny, too! We also have a signed copy from Mr. Mo Willems and the real Trixie—who reportedly often comes to his book signings. One of my favorite NYC friends went to a signing of his in Washington DC two years ago at the National Book Fair and waited in line for over an hour to get his John Hancock and she doesn't even have kids. I am jealous you met him in person though. I love his books as much as Claire. I am Aargle, Flargling and definitely going boneless.
