My love for Winnie the Pooh and all things yellow and red has been around since before my 1st child was born, 18 years ago 😉   The poor boy had no choice but to fall in love with Winnie the Pooh as his entire room was decorated with anything and everything “Pooh” I could find.  Since then all my children after inherited his movies, and toys.  It’s a Family affair 😉
