From days gone past when I naively celebrated the dark celebration!

One of a Kind

Andy was finishing his cereal. He ate all the Fruit Loops and picked up the bowl and slurped down the milk in the bowl. He looked at his father and plopped the bowl down in front of him with a grin. Toast time! Shocked that Andy ACTUALLY ate all of his meal, Timothy asked "Who are you?!"
Andy looked at him, pointed up and said "One of a kind!"
He certainly is!

The New Spokesman for Netflix
I got a call from Aunt Brenda this morning, on her way back from Andy's overnight trip to her house. She was telling me how sweet and good he's been and the different things they did since leaving the football game last night.
Then she said that he was so smart, starting on the tale of his latest Andy-ism. She said that they watched a Thomas the Tank Engine movie and an episode of Sesame Street. Then, when they were over, he asked if she had a Baby Einstein movie. We have started watching those again for Joey. The boys love the music in them and will dance. The toys are pretty neat, and they tie in early reading skills, too. When she said that no, they did not have any Baby Einstein, Andy replied matter of fact "Well, you need to get Netflix."
Timothy and Andy go to mail box every day or so to see what has come in. I can't tell you how much money we've saved in not getting cable/dish and in late fees at the movie gallery by getting Netflix. We're even able to get foreign films, A&E, classics that we can not at the local movie house. Most of the are the crude blow-em-ups that we just aren't interested in because of the violence, sex, and language. We are also able to get quality movies for the boys, since we do not watch television. Before you think that we have a ideological purpose for this other than I don't want them seeing the dark and sexually explicit ads, know that since we don't have cable, our antenna doesn't pick up much without a LOT of snow and other bad signal issues. Time is the other constraint. We can be DOING so much more when not watching television. It's a heck of a lot more fun. Going to the mailbox to see what surprise Daddy ordered is pretty neat for Andy.
The "You need to get Netflix." was pretty funny coming from a three-year-old.
