One of the most difficult things about waiting for new product is not talking about how cool something is until it gets here. We were shown this 3 months ago and immediately wanted it for our National Scrapbook Day promo.

This little lesson taught my DS more about embracing imperfection than every lecture we have given him (he is a hard core perfectionist). We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday last year and had a blast.
