As soon as I found out that I was pregnant with my now 1 year old son Kobee, the first thing that I began to think about was how would I decorate his room....what would his theme be? This is when I found a new love for Dr. Seuss. I wanted everything Seuss but to my surprise there was not a lot of Dr. Seuss decor available. My friends threw me a Dr. Seuss baby shower but I only received two Dr. Seuss nursery pieces so again I was on my own. But I did get to use some of the decorations from the shower for Kobee's nursery that was also used for his birthday party. I got a lot of ideas from some great blogs and tweaked them a bit to make them my own. I also had to search day and night to find costumes, favors,etc. to pull together a great party. Thank God for Ebay and Etsy! I found almost everything I needed and what I couldn't find I figured out how to make. I also wanted to get the Cat in the Hat to come but the closest Dr. Seuss character was over 1,000 miles away, so I searched and I searched and finally found a site that had a costume in stock and paid a friend to play the part. It actually worked out better because we weren't limited on time and the kids got to interact with him more than a professional would have allowed. I didn't get to do all the things I wanted, like make gloves and bow ties, but I was still very happy with the outcome. Enough talking and on to the pictures........
