Help...my generation is showing!

This week at Camp Medley I was getting Elijah to call Shawn "Bible Man" after watching him walk to the pool wearing his towel around his shoulders cape-style and carrying his bible in hand. He later mentioned that there was a "Bible Man" superhero.
"I know", I said, "it's Buddy."
"Buddy?"
"Buddy from Charles in Charge" Only Jonathan showed some look of recognition
"Charles in Charge with Scott Baio" more blank stares
"Scott Baio, you know Chachi?" a few more looks of quasi-recognition
"Chachi from Happy Days"
"Oh..."
Forget it.

Slinging in England

I started babywearing (or slinging) a few months back with Jeremy. Thanks to Sarah's creations, I'm enjoying it emensely. (Yes Jill, I should have listened to you and got one with Elijah way back when...) I have Jeremy in the sling when we're out shopping, when I'm vaccuming, when I'm gardening...you get the picture. I was so glad to have the sling along for our England trip. It packs well, no bulky stroller to pack around, no worries about stairs, and Jeremy loves it and can nap in it too. (what a terrible run-on sentence that was).
Well didn't I have more looks and questions in England about the sling than I've ever had in Canada. I met only one person who had ever seen a sling before, to the rest it was a complete novelty. They all thought it was great and I (or Jeremy rather) got a lot of smiles. Here's a pic or 2 of us slinging in England...some you have to search for the little hand or foot that represents Jeremy, as I mentioned, he loves to sleep in it.
