Clifford Visits Storytime

Last week we went to a special storytime at the library... Clifford the Big Red Dog came to visit! The librarian read books about Clifford and Clifford danced with the kids.

This was our first experience with a large, costumed character (except for the Easter Bunny, who Evie and Gavin only wanted to view from afar). It was also the twins' introduction to Clifford, as we didn't have Clifford books. Evie and Gavin were super excited when Clifford walked into the room and they couldn't stop waving and smiling at him.



When it was time for the kids to hug Clifford, Gavin just couldn't wait. We were the first ones in the line.



Evie thought she wanted to hug him, then changed her mind pretty quickly:



We got in line again and waited for another turn. Gavin hugged Clifford again and again, and gave him high-5's and patted his nose.



Gavin could have hugged Clifford all day. He got upset when Clifford had to leave, and the whole way home he asked for "more Clifford."

When the kids woke up from naps, we headed to a bookstore and bought a Clifford book. It made Gavin feel a little better, but he hasn't stopped asking for "more Clifford!"
