Random Kidlet-snippet (and parentheses abuse)
I've been introducing Kidlet to some of my favorite 80s and 90s cartoons, including Voltron (the cats, of course), Adventures of the Gummi Bears (holds up remarkably well for a show based on a candy), Animaniacs (more dated than I'd expect), Talespin (I'd forgotten how catchy the theme is!), She-Ra (ok, I totally still love it) and a few others. Most I've been able to find on Netflix streaming, in reruns, or on youtube. It's been a huge frustration to me that I couldn't find Thundercats anywhere, though! The DVDs are apparently a lousy deal (pricey and low quality), so I couldn't justify dropping cash on them when we're broke. Then I remembered that we actually get discs with our Netflix plan too (d'oh!). Disc one arrived last week. I've been having so much fun with it. Last night Kidlet and I were singing the Thundercats theme together (I'm only mildly embarrassed to admit that it still gives me actual goosebumps). His favorites are WilyKit and WilyKat (no accounting for the tastes of small children), but he was still thrilled to find my Panthro and Lion-o action figures in his toybox. I'm thrilled to see him playing with them.
Also, we built a marshmallow catapult from a kit we picked up this past summer. He's enjoying it, except that he keeps eating the marshmallows instead of firing them.
