Sesame Street Elmo Inspired Baby Hat Crochet Pattern
Having a little sister 10 years younger than myself meant I witnessed hours upon hours
of colourful tv shows while memorising their catchy (Yet sometimes annoying) theme
songs. I think I might even know the entire "Sesame Street" theme better than her!
Yep, I'll probably sound somewhat like an old lady by saying this, but it could possibly
be that I know the theme's so well because I lot of the tv shows are the same as back in
the day when I was a kid.
Some of my favourite shows growing up were actually Arthur, Babar, The Wild
Thornberry's, The Magic School Bus and of course the Teletubbies!
Funny story, but when I was little, I would actually prohibit my dad from watching his
news every morning until I had finished observing the Teletubbies, and all of their
lovely splendor and colours radiating on screen.
What was your favourite tv show growing up? Can you still remember the theme
song? Let me know in the comments!
