Henrietta “Nettie” Seuss Geisel, mother of children’s author and Springfield native “Dr. Suess,” loved her children and cherished the experience of watching them grow.
That, said Kay Simpson, president and CEO of the Springfield Museums, is made evident in the baby book she kept for him.
In it, she notes that her son, Theodor Seuss Geisel, who grew up to be Dr. Seuss, first laughed on April 17, 1904, when he was about a month old. She recorded other childhood milestones and included newspaper clippings and a lock of Ted’s hair.
