Are You a Tigger, or an Eyore? Living the Last Lecture Legacy
simplesahm | August 1, 2008 There are so many lessons to be learned by "The Last Lecture"..."live life to the fullest"..."tell the truth..."play more".
Amidst the most profound lessons, Randy asked a life changing question - "are you a Tigger or an Eyore".
In honor of Randy...I had a "Tiggerish" day and I encouraged my kids to do the same.
The morning started with a simple question for both of them...
"Are you going to be a Tigger or an Eyore today?"
My preschoolers (ages three and five) naturally shouted "TIGGER".
"What's the difference between Tigger and Eyore?" I asked my kids.
My daughter responded..."Tigger is always happy, but Eyore is always grumpy".
So we decided to devote our day to "Tigger-ish-ness".
We made pancakes and flipped them high into the air..."order up", I shouted as the kids held their plates high into the air while they giggled feverishly.
We also made a clubhouse out of bed sheets....let the guinea pigs run in the yard and searched for treasure at the local "Goodwill".
This isn't an atypcial day at the Anderson house...in fact, it's pretty routine. However, we decided to partake in the fun with Tigger-ish attitudes. No one whined, no one complained (including mommy) and everyone enjoyed the day.
It was a day that would make Tigger proud...and thanks to Randy - I am reminded to have them daily.
Which leads me to wonder...are you a Tigger or an Eyore?
