It really is the world's greatest food. It can keep an 8 month old busy endlessly. Man she loves theses things. At least I know that they are good for her, and that it has plenty of positives. First she will have no cholestrol, lol. Two, she is practicing that pincher finger skill. Three, she's learning self-motivation. It's tough working on getting those sometimes slippery suckers into her moving mouth. :) Four, she loves them!
I can't believe that it's been forty years for these guys! I loved Sesame Street when I was growing up. Cookie, the Count, Kermit, Grover, Big Bird, Gordon, Luis, Maria and everyone else like Slimey, Snuffy, and Barkley. I have many a found memory watching it in the morning, and even as I was in college I'd catch an episode (though they weren't the same).
We were watching a Capitol Fourth on the 4th, waiting for the fireworks to start. Big Bird appeared on screen, and began singing... his friends Elmo, Oscar, Cookie, Rosita, and Abbicadabbi were all there too. Sarah was entranced. She giggled, and laughed, and scooted ever closer with each song and conversation. It was a hit!
We always miss Sesame Street in the morning, 'cause we would much rather sleep in, but the great thing is On Demand. We can watch old episodes there, whenever we have time. Online we can do this too. But the best part of the website is we can watch the episodes and clips from when I was little... and that is AWESOME.
It is so amazing to know something that I grew up with that was wonderful, and educational and safe, is still going strong some 30 years later. It makes me happy to be able to go back to the neighborhood, and feel as if I never left. Even better I get to take my kiddo with me this time!
Isn't this the whole point of summer... enough said!
