Christopher Robin and a Tigger Milkshake

I have been a lover of Winnie the Pooh and his friends for a long time. I still remember getting my first Pooh. Though he wasn’t a brand name Winnie the Pooh, he was what my parents could afford, and I loved him.

My daughter, Molly, loved Tigger from the time she was a baby. Her Aunt Anne had a lot of stuffed Tiggers around, and Molly would usually end up crying for them. Of course, she’d get her way and get to have Tigger while at Grandma and Grandpa’s house (since Aunt Anne was still in high school).

Watching the CHRISTOPHER ROBIN trailers has brought back such fond memories, and they make me cry! I can’t wait to see CHRISTOPHER ROBIN!
