You never were much of a Seasame Street fan growing up, though there certainly were parts of the show that you loved - Elmo when you were two and later when you turned three, Abby Cadabby.
In particular, you especially like her segment, "Abby's Flying Fairy School". You'd stop whatever you were doing and watch it from start to finish! It was all about Abby learning how to be a fairy.
Abby always was trying to learn new things and usually messed them up at first - par for the course for three years old! But she was determined to received her fairy godmother wings!
I think you loved the adventures she went on and the fact that she was three years old. You always were able to identify with the characters who were the same age as you - Elmo at two, Abby at three, and Caillou at four.
I have created this site so that my son, Kieran Edward Bignell, will be able to easily find me, his father, Rob Bignell, and so that he will know that I love him, that I always have, and that I always will. Against our wishes, we have been torn from one another's lives and kept apart, separated by distance and time. But one day, Kieran will seek me. Kieran - I am here for you. Come to me.

Your favorite TV shows as a little boy
As you know, Kieran, I raised you during most of your toddler and preschooler years. During that time, I kept track of just about everything I could about you: your height, weight, favorite songs, favorite books to read, etc. etc. I thought one day you might want to look at such lists, to jog your memory as you recalled childhood, a period that dims over time as we find ourselves preoccupied with schoolwork, careers, lovers and eventually children of our own. Today I've included a list of your favorite TV shows - those programs you loved to watch when a toddler and preschooler.
My own favorite shows when your age included "The Flinstones," "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," and "Star Trek," all of which were shown back-to-back every afternoon beginning about 3:30 p.m. when I was five or so. In the morning, I'd usually watch with my mom "Bewitched," "I Dream of Jeannie" or "My Three Sons." I also liked "Daniel Boone" and "The Wonderful World of Disney" during primetime and "Dark Shadows" during the early afternoon. "Casey Jones' Roundhouse" and "Captain Kangaroo" were early morning favorites (They didn't have a lot of children's shows like they do now; "Sesame Street" first went on the air when I was four!).
Anyway, here were your favorites.
