For the first time since attending Sweet Suite the event was opened up to the children of attendees. This was a huge deal for us because that meant that Eva and Andrew could come and see an event that daddy has attended for years. What is more important, though, was they could meet the people that I have worked with who supply us with toys for our reviews. It is important to me that the kids know that the toys don’t just appear out of thin air, even though it may seem that way. Knowing the people behind the scenes is important to me and I wanted it to be important to them. It was also important for Allison to see how crazy things get during events and how hard it can be to try and get the most information, photos and video. I was very glad that she was there to help wrangle the kids or stay with one when they wanted to explore something further. I think we may have made it around to all of the booths.

Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) and his longtime friend Winnie the Pooh in Disney’s CHRISTOPHER ROBIN.
It is hard for me to believe that it is almost August 3rd and the release of Christopher Robin. Back in February when I attended Disney Social Media Moms Celebration I got to see a ton of the movie and it really spoke to me. Winnie the Pooh is one of Allison’s favorite characters. So much so that she has a ton of Winnie the Pooh things. We even decorated Eva’s room with Winnie the Pooh themed things and she went as Winnie the Pooh for Halloween a couple of times. Andrew did as well. We still have the costume. But, it wasn’t so much that Winnie the Pooh hit me, it was Christopher Robin. The movie is a story of the boy grown into a man who has lost that childlike wonder that he had. It is a story about him learning to play again and finding his inner child. It really hit me.
Eva as Winnie the Pooh back in 2008
So, I am truly excited because at the end of the month I am heading to California for the Red Carpet premiere of Christopher Robin. I cannot wait!
When I told Andrew that I was going he was upset because he wanted to watch the movie with me. I told him that I would certainly go with him once I got home. I can go ahead and buy miy tickets today if I want to because advance ticket sales just opened for the movie everywhere. To celebrate I have two featurettes to share with you. One is called Legacy and it talks about what Pooh means to so many people.
