I’m sorry that I missed that. We are suffering from severe haze brought on by the fires in Georgia. (I’m actually in North Alabama). I’m longing for some clear skies and a beautiful full moon.

I noticed the moon last night, but I did not realize it was a full moon. It was beautiful.

I saw it too. It was bright and huge – I think I heard it was a blue moon. You know, like once in a blue moon…..

I love goodnight moon. On days when Charlie is having a really hard time, a couple of recitations of Good Night Moon will still calm him down.

Our moon on over here on the east coast was also awesome last night. We could see it very early, well before dark. I pointed it out to my children and my son said, “Mommy, the man in the moon is HUGE!!!!!” My poor daughter can’t see the man in the moon—Odd, since she’s the more “creative” one. I love moon watching………and the old lady whispering “Hush”.

I chanted “Goodnight Moon” over and over and over in rhythm with the rocking chair when I was in labor with our second child. It was my only unmedicated birth.

This book drives some people batty, but it will always hold a meaningful place in my heart.

I don’t care if I’m 3 or 53…the moon will never lose its mystical power. Nor will the rest of the heavens. And am I the only mother in America who never read “Goodbye, Moon”? Maybe it came out after my kids were past bedtime stories…

We read this EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. along with a book called, “My Angel and Me” and “My Goodnight Book”. These are the nightly staples that have not changed in 3 years. Though the fourth book changes almost nightly and lately has been a lot of Strawberry Shortcake stories, or Dora.

Love it. Have a happy Blue Moon night!

Good night mouse
Good night house..

For a month my first grader’s class was keeping track of the moon’s phases. Every night before bed, we’d all go outside, find the moon and talk about it. My littlest would say bye bye to the moon every night as we would go back inside.

I still maintain that motherhood has provided me with so much poetry and so many new ways to define my world; “Goodnight, Moon” is one of my favorite books, period, right up there with “Guess How Much I Love You.”
