Dr Seuss Birthday for Cali

Happy Birthday little Cali

Your soon turning one

One is a great age

It’s really quite fun!

I wish I lived closer 

Where we could both play

But I still really want 

To be part of your day!

So I made a few things

 To send you, you’ll see

To help your mommy throw you

 a stupendous party!

When your mommy is done 

Adding more fun and treats

I think that your first birthday 

Will be super sweet!

These banners I made 

From fabric and thread

To hang from the ceiling

Up over your head.

I got out my paint brushes 

And made a few of these

Pictures that are knocked off 

From my friends on etsy.

Thing one and Thing two 

And that Cat in The Hat

And a big sign with your name 

What do you think about that?

A very fun thing 

I like to do at parties

Is put quotes all around

 to put guests at ease.

And who better to quote 

Then the big quote-a-roo

Dr Suess, he’s amazing 

but you know that don’t you?

Believe it or not I had these hats at my house

My garage is where I found them.

And to all those people that know me well

It really won't astound em!

I hope you like 

green eggs and ham

do you like them 

Cali I Am?

I hunted and gathered 

and I’m sending you some

A little egg hunt to play 

with your sweet  friends that come.

And I’ve thought and I‘ve thought 

And I’ve made up a list

Of other fun games to play 

With a Dr Seuss Twist

Like One fish two fish 

Red fish blue fish'

Use a pole 

And catch some new fish.

Bags of goldfish crackers 

Would be fun to do.

Cause those are the kinds 

Of fish you can chew

(This photo from kitchendoughdough.blogspot.com
and she has instructions too!)

And these I cannot send to you 

cause I’m much too far to bake them 

but they are so stinking fun and cute 

I hope your mom will make-em.

I am sending you this birthday gift

 For you to open a bit early

I hope these Dr Suess books

 will make you giggle, little girly.

And for this special birthday book 

It  really would be sweet

If your party guests all signed it

I think that would be neat.

Then each year as you get older

 You can read it on your day

And know of the all the love shown to you 

To start you on your way.

So Happy first birthday Cali

I’ll get this stuff all in a box

And get it in the mail to you

And send it from the docks

But I hope you will remember

Though we are far apart

That I think you are really special

From the bottom of my heart.
