The boys obsession with "Calvin and Hobbes" continues. The oldest, a new reader, reads them aloud to his younger brothers and they hang on every word. He reads them with a lot of enthusiasm and even gets the inflection and pronunciation right most of the time, which I am endlessly impressed with. I was a big fan myself when the comic strip first came out which is why we have all the books. And while I love listening to the boys enjoying them as much as I did, I now find myself in the unfortunate position of identifying more closely with Calvin's poor parents.... (Sigh!)
What a sweet picture, and, as a huge fan of Calvin and Hobbes, I enjoyed your delightful commentary. My daughter's cat, born in our California home, now residing in Chicago, gets his name from the comic strip http://365project.org/biggirlart/365/2010-03-09
My son loved Calvin and Hobbes. He probably still has his collection of books, lol.
This is a great shot of your boys. You can sense their rapt attention in the story :) Very nice :)
