Thomas has been the Cat in the Hat basically since Christmas. I think yesterday marked the last appearance of his tall, lanky self in that red and white striped hat.

He did an outstanding job with the role, but I was perhaps most proud when I watched him in the hallways outside the auditorium. Time after time, he crouched low to chat with a preschooler who was amazed to be meeting the REAL Cat in the Hat. He was so sweet and possessed patience and charm beyond his years. Now he is back to focusing on what really matters at this time of year: Which roller coasters to ride at 6 Flags on the class trip and who is going with whom to the 8th grade dance.
I’m going to miss middle school.
