Left on Seasame Street, right down Memory Lane (A happy diversion)

The Lovely Mrs. Davis has created a fun way to celebrate the 37th Anniversary of Seasame Street:

The 37th season of Sesame Street kicks off Monday, August 14 (today!) , and to mark the occasion, I'm planning a big celebration here. From my perspective, Sesame Street was - and still is - an incredibly important part of our popular culture, especially for the generation of us who watched it as kids and are now watching it as parents.

If you're a mom or dad blogger, I want YOU to be in on this celebration. To mark the start of Sesame Street's 37th season, I'd like to get 37 posts (but wouldn't it be cool if we had a whole lot more?) from all of you, on your own blogs, that I will link from here on August 14, in a gigantic linky-love extravaganza. Don't worry - your post doesn't have to be about Sesame Street, but it should answer this question:

What television, music, movie or book from your childhood are you excited about sharing with your own children?

My thoughts? Seasame Street is actually on right now, and I can hear little kids voices (they better be my kids! lol) as they go back and forth between interaction with the show and their own distractions!

I couldn't wait to share Seasame Street with my little guys, specifically two things: The Pie Guy, and the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, 11,12 song. The Pie Guy falls down the stairs with a tray full of creme pies- and for some reason, the day he did it with eleven- was my favorite and that's why I chose the number eleven as my favorite (no joke I wore it on nearly every jersey I had through Jr. High and Highschool!).

More than that though, and I know this is getting long (forgive me, I'm extra caffienated and nostaligic- a dangerous combination...) I find little things all the time that I loved as a child that I share with my kids. For example, my dad took me to Starbucks, and now I take my kids there. The other day, they tried their first Push-Up ice cream treat, and have recently become fans of Capri Suns and triangle Minute Maid popsicles! These are all things from my childhood, just little things that made me happy, and it's so fun to share that.

Ok, so I took a rabbit trail down food memory lane! But the most interesting thing is what we do remember about our childhoods, and how important it is to pay attention to the kind of memories we are creating for our little ones.
