Abraham Lincoln

Seth loves looking at this old place mat we have of the Presidents. He knows who is alive, who is our President right now, who his father is and who is the oldest living President. But of them all, Abraham Lincoln he loves. I am not sure why? He just likes how he looks. He can tell the "honest Abe" story and is fascinated with him dying at a "movie theater". A few days ago Sarah was telling him she had been to Ford's theater....now when telling the story he says "Abraham Lincoln and Sarah were at the movie theater...."

He knows that Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President. An easy number to remember for him because his birthday is on the 16th. Last night after opening gifts and cards he was looking through it all and came running as fast as he could to Scott's office, where we were both talking. He held up his $5 from Aunt Sandra and Uncle Whit. He stood there waiting for us to understand the implications! Then we laughed....Abraham Lincoln was on that $5 bill and he was more tickled than any child I have seen over his money!! We quickly talked about Abe being on the $5 dollar bill and Seth turning 5. Just more trivia for his little mind.

The picture about is of his new place mat, the old one was really about to go. Funny seeing him drag around that 97 cent place mat!!
