Cartoons
can bring back memories too, who knew?
November 12, 2017
Now that I have little my television watching has
definitely changed, long gone are the days of CSI or NCIS or whatever other acronym
crime drama is on now. Now my evenings and weekends are full of Disney Junior
and Treehouse. It use to be Treehouse but as I evolved as a parent so did the selection
of cartoon channels.
The boys have their favourites, some old and some new
but overall they’re cartoons and something to entertain them with. I usually
have them on in the background for noise or in the hopes that something might
catch their eye and slow them down just a little bit. Sometimes it works and
other times it doesn’t.
One Saturday morning I had the boys up and the opening
theme to ‘Go Diego Go’ came on and I stopped drinking my tea and had a little
bit of a daydream about me on my mat leave with the boys last winter. That show
was on back to back to back at one point in time and I remember the boys being
somewhat interested in it.
They glanced at the screen as they probably recognized the
theme as well and then went back to what they were destroying at that moment. I
chuckled a little bit and was also sad as I remember them being in their ‘circle
of neglect’ bouncing up and down, getting excited about the toys attached to
this contraption. They were so teeny tiny them and my heart skipped a beat as I
realized they are growing up way too quickly. This was only last winter for
crying out loud and now they’re little terrorists.
They’re into everything and anything they can get their
hands on. Both smart as a whip but curious nonetheless. Who knew that the
opening song to a cartoon could make me think back to the winter before when
all my waking hours were spent with my little munchkins. Makes me almost want
to have another little one…but then again I’m happy with the two that I have right
now.
