So, two gushing accounts of Bear-related adorableness.

~ It is important to note that Count von Count only makes an appearance on Sesame Street about twice a month. However, when my mom gave Chloe a book in which Grover explores colors, she immediately recognized the Count on the “purple” page and laughed in the cutest maniacal laughter ever, “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

M’aawwwwwww…

~ We’ve been showing Chloe these two specific “Disney Sing-Along Songs” videos from 1986 and 1987 because those are the only years that they made VHS tapes that didn’t have pirate protection on them so we could make DVDs of them to watch at our house. Anyway, she goes over to my parents’ house a few nights ago while I’m in town and joining my meditation group and they began to show her some of the other videos from the “Sing-Along Songs” series. Apparently, halfway through one of these less familiar videos, she turned to my dad and started asking, “Hi ho? Hi ho?” It took them a minute but they soon realized that she was requesting the “Heigh Ho” video as per usual instead of this new crap they were pushing on her. When my dad gently said, “No, honey, we’re watching ‘The Bare Necessities’ right now.” her tone turned a bit more demanding, “Hi ho! Hi ho!” Needless to say, they relented.

Pah-recious.
