Bringing Back Memories

I took the sweet little boy I nanny to Wal-Mart today to pick up a few things, and I decided to play some toddler music on Pandora along the way. Low and behold, the song Skinnamarink came on.

Needless to say, I sang it loud and proud.

My absolute favorite show growing up was The Elephant Show. Saying it was my absolute favorite is, actually, quite an understatement. Just ask my poor daddy, who would probably run out of the house screaming if he heard this song once again.

My sweet Granny would set the VCR (no DVR back then!) to record the show since I did not wake up in time to watch it when it came on. I had five or six VHS tapes full of The Elephant Show. It was one of the most amazing parts of my childhood that I wish I could re-visit.

This show left such an impact on me, I even taught this song to my Sunshine Choir group at church when I was four or five. And we performed it in front of the congregation. With the hand motions and all.

Boom.

After a while, my tapes started disappearing. Some even had some football on them (I wonder who did that...). But the memories I have of watching that wonderful Nick Jr. show in my parents' bedroom and in our living room will last a lifetime.

Does anyone else remember this show? I feel like I am the only person who watched this, but the show lasted for quite a few seasons, so apparently there were more watching this awesome show than just this girl!
