When Giggles was about 14 months old she was obsessed with Sesame Street. And not just any Sesame Street, Old School Sesame Street, which secretly made my heart smile.
Hubs was in the Navy at the time and he was stationed in San Diego for school while we were still in Orlando....FLORIDA. In a time before Skpe & Google Chat and well, webcams that the average person could afford, meant we didn't see hubs for about 4 months.
Have you ever been confined in a place in which most of your friends transferred somewhere else and you were there, in a house, with a limited budget, and your uber intelligent 14 month old? Its about as fun as it sounds.
So to pass the time we watched videos. Giggles would often demand gently request to watch The Sesame Street 25th Anniversary Spectacular Video. And since I was a closet fan of Old School Sesame Street-I gladly met her request by pushing play each time the video ended and had a chance to rewind daily.
It should also be mentioned that at this particular time, being young and naive. The Toyota dealer was kind enough to let us purchase a 1995 Toyota Tercel 4 speed off his lot, that did not include a radio.
That's right....no radio. Let me tell you those trips to the base were uber fun. Giggles asked a lot of questions that made me a bit crazy so proud to be her mama.
When I wasn't be interrogated by the 14 month old, I was singing for her. Because even though your 14 month old has a great vocabulary and can blow people away with her conversational skillz, she was still a 14 month old that wanted her way. And when said way wasn't met, she let out an ear piercing shriek that would get anyone to tell you all their deepest darkest secrets just to SHUT.HER.UP.
So when she requested "The Linoleum Song" I happily sang and narrated the E.N.T.I.R.E. song.
It was stuck in my head for years. And every now and again I just blurt out "La, La, La, La....LINOLEUM!" To which I get strange looks and pats on the head for. But you watch the video and try not to tell me that it isn't catchy and wouldn't get stuck in your head as well.
And if you've made it all the way down here I would like to reward you with one last thing....my weekly picks for the BFL!
I know, I know I haven't been playing along this year, but my good friend Greis is hosting and I wanted to do it, plus it was so much fun last year! So without further adieu....my picks...in bold
