Return To Pooh Corner

I had worked most of the week and wanted to do something special with Sophie.   A new Winnie the Pooh movie had come out this week and I thought it was the perfect time to take her to her first big girl movie.

 She was excited even though she didn't really know what to expect as she entered the big theatre.

 We settled her and Pooh into front row seats and sat a popcorn as big as her head into her lap!

 As I watched Pooh jump around the storybook letters and look for some honey, I couldn't help be reminded of how what seems like a few short years ago I was watching Winnie the Pooh with Madison. The Pooh that Sophie loves so much was his when he was little.  It was one of the toys I kept from his childhood.  He loved Pooh and he was the star of the famous "Batman" movie that Camden and Madison made when he was about Sophie's age. 

   We enjoyed the movie very much and as I left the theatre I found myself a little teary eyed as I hummed this Kenny Loggins classic:

                                                                

Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood

So help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered "Boy welcome home"

Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh
