Pete the Cat

These days, Jude's favorite book (or series of books....) is Pete the Cat by Eric Litwin. The books are super fun and Pete is super cool. Jude loves to have them read over and over again. His favorite is the original. He sings along and even "reads" it. (phone battery dies before he finishes the book, but he does...squeaks and all...and it is great.)

And what Pete fan wouldn't love his own pair of red shoes to sing about? 

Jude loves rockin' his red shoes....which have also been covered in mud (brown) and wet just like in the book. Duh. He is a two-year old boy. 

Though Pete is illustrated blue, Jude considers him to be a black cat. I figured this out when Jude started calling our neighbor's black cat, Pete. We decided that we should get "Pete" some shoes of his own. I'm not so sure the cat would be as excited about the idea as we are. 

If you have a little one and haven't checked out the Pete books, you should. I do not think you will be disappointed. I'm off to read about Pete's groovy buttons now.....(It's my favorite these days.)
