Tonight I attended the launch party for Boston Parent Bloggers. This was held at the Barefoot Books store in Concord, MA. I had never heard of Barefoot Books before but now that I have I am in love. You already know that I occasionally do reviews of children’s books with Eva. I used to do it at Read To Me, Dad but I decided to just incorporate that into this blog. So I’ll be doing more of those sort of posts as well.
We received a copy of the recently released and re-mastered Disney classic movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I remember seeing the movie as a child and I believe I remember it pretty fondly as it had some fun aspects to it: flying car, fun characters and humor. Watching it again as an adult I actually “got it”. I never actually realized that the amazing Dick Van Dyke (the guy is incredible) was a single dad raising two kids and he told the kids this fantasmagorical story. I missed that whole point as a child. I never realized that until we watched the movie together this past weekend.
