Mo Willems. Know him? He writes children’s books. One his books -Knuffle Bunny – A Cautionary Tale was made into a children’s musical. We took Alec on Sunday to Merrill Auditorium to broaden his (and our) repertoire of cultural experiences. This cultural experience also included dressing him up. Urban and classy we are. He cleans up well I think.

Erik and I thought it was cute.
Alec’s thought on the show was an unforgiving “I did not care for that at all”. And so you have it. The 40 year old man in child’s body did not care for the Knuffle Bunny musical. However, I caught him singing a song from it on several different occasions today, so something must have made an impression on him.
I ended up having to do some research on how to correctly pronounce Knuffle because we had been pronouncing it with a silent K (nuffle) and they were pronouncing it with a very hard K (KAh-Nuffle).
Here is what I have discovered:
1. I should have read the 2nd book because they address this issue in it. FYI- it is completely fine to say it both ways
2. Knuffle is a Dutch word that means snuggly or cuddly. It is pronounced "Kuh-nuffle".
3. Mo Willems has a pretty cute WEBSITE (just click the link to check it out!)
And for the record we did not stop anywhere to eat. Guess my indulgence trend is over….
