I grew up watching Mr. Dress-up, and have always loved the relaxed, kindly manner of
Ernie Coombs, who would have been 85 today. Did you know he was originally from Maine? If you have ever been to Maine, or met a Mainer, it would make complete sense to you. Thank you Google for making me think of him today.
I grew up on MrDressup, LOVED watching him. A couple of years ago we found a couple DVDs at Wal-Mart of the show, and now my littlest one has been introduced to him too, and he loves him!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I will have to keep my eyes peeled for those DVDs, I should look them up online. I am so glad your kids love him as much as we did!
ReplyDeleteHeehee, I didn't expect to see Mr. Dress Up gracing the blog today! Ha! I grew up with him to... back in the "olden" days, as my boys would say! ;)
ReplyDeleteI know - it kind of hurts my head to realize that I was watching him when I was at the age my kids are now!
