Taking me by surprise

This boy is growing fast, as they all do, I know... but he has a favourite colour, and it's from inside his own mind, not copied from anyone. It's just adorable, to me, of course. "Me like green. And blue. But green my favourite, I love it." And he loves to move. Moving to kick anything, or moving to music. He loves doing air guitar and air drums. He loves air hugs and air kisses. No more babies. Just 3 kids who play cafe together, a big sister who can help the little brother get dressed, and a big brother who makes toast for them all, on a school morning, and even on Saturdays! These are the days I remember as a kid, parents who stay in bed on Saturday and kids who get their own brekky and watch cartoons. Bummer about the lack of good cartoons, but that's another story altogether...

Can you get some of the GOOD classic cartoons on DVD for them? Funny that is one of my best memories from childhood too... mum and dad sleeping in while we got up and ate cold cereal and watched The Smurfs!!
