Winnie The Pooh and Brenden, too

Morning time is pretty routine in our house. It's probably the only time that has any type of structure to it. Although, it's not necessarily the most exciting, it works and that's all that matters to me right now. Part of that routine is Playhouse Disney. It gets turned on around 8 am and stays on until about 11 am. Not always being watched but on nonetheless. One show that is always watched through it's entirety...'My Friends Tiger and Pooh'. Brenden hears the theme song and comes running. It doesn't matter where he is or how much fun he's having, when that song starts to play, he drop what he's doing to come dance and sing along. Taking time outs to point to the television and say, 'Pooh, Pooh'. Mesmerized by the shows musical opening he backs to sit in the middle of the livingroom. Asks for his bob (bottle) and blank (blanket, of course). I am prepared for his request. He patiently waits for me to lay the blanket down. Plops down in the middle, lays down and reaches for his bottle. Watching his favorite Pooh Bear solve mysteries in the Hundread Acre Woods.

There's just something special about this whole episode. The way Brenden's face lights up, he dances around the livingroom and gets so excited that Tigger and Pooh are on tv. The way he actually tries to talk to ask for his bottle and blanket or the way he runs in from where ever he has been playing once he hears that tune start to play. Or maybe it's just the fact that I know this is the onset to his nap and I will have a brief time out from being a referee. :)~ Whatever it may be, I look forward to this time every morning. It's just one of those little things in life that I treasure and brightens my day. But then again, it really doesn't take much for Brenden to brighten my day.
