Last week Owen came home from my parents' house with a what I think was a MacDonald's toy of Bumblebee; and if it wasn't, then it was a great knock-off. Even though he says he doesn't like Transformers, he likes the toys.
The big yay is that he's finally gotten into the Muppets. He runs around singing "Manamana," "Crocodile Rock" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." (oh, and the pink polyester pants Elton wears on the show? so wrong.) Of course, I think of Anne, who always said the cure for getting a song out of your head was to sing the opening song to the Muppets. It might even be worth it to hook up the VCR and dig out my Muppets' 30th anniversary show that I taped from TV. It's like a "best of."
Saturday was also his first visit to a comic book shop, New England Comics @ Coolidge. He's also into reading Tiny Titans and Superman Adventures, based on the animated series by Mark Millar (thanks Pete!)
We're seeing Dark Knight tomorrow; Tak's already seen it, but I'm really looking forward to it.

We tried to get the kids to watch Muppets in Space the other day. They were a bit afraid of Gonzo:)
I never had Barbies but did play with both the Millenium Falcon and Donnie and Marie dolls. Purple socks and light sabers...oh my.
The song still does the trick.
Somewhere I have, on vinyl nonetheless, both Sesamie Disco and Sesamie Street Fever.
"Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco" Soooooo wrong!
But SO right! :)
I had the Donnie & Marie dolls, too, as well as the 12" Star Wars figures, plus Megoes (Batman, Robin, Superman, etc.), Wonder Woman, 4 out of 5 of the Charlie's Angels, Jamie Somers & Steve Austin... all these are hopefully still at my parents' house.
