I didn’t know until yesterday that this existed, but it’s pretty much our new favorite holiday: Mister Rogers, cardigans, neighbors and kindness? We certainly hope these things describe us!
Oak loves Mister Rogers. He jumps for joy when it’s Sunday Funday, the day we watch an episode together as a family. He sings along with a few songs, including, “Be strong, be brave…” which is just the cutest thing ever.
He loves trolley and X the Owl, but his favorite might be Henrietta Pussycat, and he often requests books be read in “meow, meow”–the way Henrietta speaks {meow, meow}, with purring {meow, meow} in between every {meow, meow} few words {meow, meow}.
Really, though: Oak was so-so about cardis until we started calling it his Mister Rogers sweater a few weeks ago. And we told him today was Mister Rogers Day, so he wore it all day, buttoned down the front by his choice, in 92 degree weather. I’m not sure I could love him more.
And the buttons say “I like you a lot,” which is both fitting and lovely. (Thanks, H&M for making the world a better place with your button choices.)
