Sesame Street

We haven't started watching this show at our house yet (Playette currently has no interest in anything but Signing Time and ESPN), but I enjoyed watching these clips and thought someone else might, too. Apparently, Sesame Street is great about including all kids, which I love.

The 80s-ness of it all is almost worth the click alone. Check out mom's stonewashed jumper dress in the first one.

Katie's baby brother

Cody grows a plant

Dany's fiesta

If you know of any others, please let me know.

Sesame Street rocks!! I knew they were big on including children of all needs on the show, but I had never seen one with a child with Ds. How refreshing!!

Thanks for sharing! Gabby and Cameron both sat here on my lap and watched each video, completely mesmerized, lol.

Youtube says this one:

but my computer looks blurry, I can't quite tell. I think some of the kids have DS.

Also, not online, but on one of the Old School DVDs, there's a segment where a kid with DS goes to the library with his father.

Ruby just got into SS recently - she LOVES it! So we watch it a lot. & The other day Cody grows a plant was on - I was so excited!

there's a clip of a boy swimming with dolphins that we saw on SS recently as well...

(it's an old piece but was on a more recent episode)

Archer was into sesame and signing time for a little while, especially the Elmo bits, ugh, but he's since moved on to Monsters, Inc... and the occasional Signing Time

The only things that tops the denim dress are:

1. Katie learning the Boston accent

2. Dany's bowl haircut in the last video

:)

Here's another one I found:

I know there was a kid with DS in Elmo's World, in the episode I watched today.

Also, I have SO seen the Katie's baby clip before. Probably back in the 80s when I watched SS. My lil babysitting charge is madly in love with Elmo, so I am getting reintroduced.

Huge, huge SS fans here. I think Jason Kingsley (Emily Perl's son) was featured in quite a few episodes. Here's one:
