As Cory was leaving for work at 6 a.m. today, he told me that Mr. Rogers died. What pleasant news to fall back asleep to, huh? Not that I really slept any longer thanks to a very restless Cole. He just hasn't been himself these past couple days. Very cranky. I think he's getting low on sleep now, too, because he's only been taking short cat naps throughout the day rather than a few longer ones. Time will tell...

I don't remember watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood as a little girl. I was more of an Electric Company and Sesame Street kind of girl. Accalia has never shown much interest in Mr. Rogers' up to this point either. She's seen it a couple times but has never sat still through an entire show. Maybe when she's older, she'll show an interest. I'm glad that reruns are still being shown on PBS ever since he retired two years ago. From what I saw and read, he was such a gentle spirit and truly cared for and respected children.
