Happy 45th Birthday, Sesame Street! Walk on Down to Where the Air Is Sweet

For our visit, the puppet cast of characters were filming the new introduction to Count von Count's "Number of the Day" segment that appears on every episode. The musical number required quite a bit of choreography to fit all nine puppets in one frame.

I brought my 4-year-old son — a Sesame Street junkie much like his mom — with me, forgetting that the characters would be controlled by humans. So the first thing I had to do was "explain" why they couldn't stand and move on their own!
