While trying to 1) find something we could watch together as a family and 2) find ANY alternative to Miles’s requests for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, I discovered that an animated adaptation of one of his favorite books — Margaret Wise Brown’s The Runaway Bunny — had dropped on HBO Max sometime this year. Mission accomplished on both fronts!
As Miles sat there rapt as he watched the bunny’s whimsical dreams of escaping and his mother’s ever watchful eye keeping him safe. And the impact the story had on him was clear by the time it ended, as he had made his way over to his slumbering mom (it was a very soothing show) and made himself comfortable.
