Happy Blue Means Happy Gabe

Jan. 27: Today Gabe got a big treat in the mail from his Suzki -- HAPPY BLUE! Gabe calls Cookie Monster "happy blue" (long story... happy to tell you in person if you really want to hear it) and really loves happy blue, but it turns out he's awfully hard to find! They have pretty much pulled all his segments from Sesame Street (except a very brief letter of the day situation with Prairie Dawn), and it's almost impossible to find a stuffed Cookie Monster toy that doesn't shake or talk anywhere in NYC (OK, we decided to avoid the Toys R Us in Times Square - totally reasonable). The only explanation we've been given for this is a concern about childhood obesity; Cookie Monster has some impulse control problems! We think this is ridiculous, and are awfully glad the good people stocking the shelves at the Target in Gainesville agree. YAY Suzki! We love cookies happy blue!
