*I read recently on one of the blogs that I follow, when something triggers a memory, write it down as part of your story.
We have had this VCR tape for awhile. I'm not even sure when we got it; probably when Marley was little.
Today, when Miriam was here, she wanted to watch this. The minute it started I realized that every time I hear the Sesame Street theme song, you know the one...Sunny day, sleeping the clouds away, it brings me back to a certain memory.
The year was 1974, winter. Kristen was about 18 months old and I was newly pregnant. And sick.
Now you have to remember that this was back before children's television was on all the time; even before VCR tapes. I think Sesame Street came on mid-morning; the perfect time for me to have a "quiet time" on the couch.
The minute Kristen heard that theme song, she would come running from whatever she was doing. It was so fast-paced that it would keep her attention, and I got a chance to rest!
