Milk. Does a Body Good. Pass it on!

Does anyone remember that slogan from 20-some-odd years ago? Jim and I frequently talk about what knowledge and adventures we want to "pass on" to our son. It saddens us that he won't know what we're talking about when we refer to Punky Brewster, Thundercats (ROAR!!!), Snorks, The Flinstones, Saved by the Bell (NOT the college years)... How many times are we going to hum the theme song from the Smurfs while Jim-Jim stares at us blankly, thinking how old and irrelevant his parents are? Some of my fondest memories from childhood come from running around in the middle of the night with all of the neighborhood kids playing night crawlers. I'm new at this mom thing, and I'm aware that times have changed but are kids allowed to do that anymore...to run around the neighborhood in the middle of the night playing night-time hide and seek? Aren't there curfews and pedophiles that prevent it?

There are some things to which Jim-Jim won't get out of being exposed. Star Wars is mandatory! Jim has been talking about introducing Jim-Jim to Star Wars since the minute we found out that we conceived. The second is Curious George. Jim has long been a fan of Curious George and has a Curious George stuffed animal that is older than I am. Jim-Jim now has one of his own (thanks Gran!), and we hope that he grows as fond of it as Jim did to his. AND we hope Bailey doesn't find it and decide it's a dog toy as most of Jim-Jim's toys that end up on the floor will become!
