Saturday mornings as a kid were filled with excitement. No school, pyjamas, cereal and cartoons = the perfect mornings! I looked forward to watching my favourites and loved sharing these moments with my parents. Great entertainment, fun and family time. Now, I have carried on that tradition with my boys. We move slower on weekends, we cuddle and watch some Netflix and now I can share some of my favourites like the Magic School Bus and Scooby Doo and explore new cartoons too. I love their squeals of laughter and wide eyed delight while they watch and I cherish these moments when they are cuddled in tight. This morning the boys crawled into my bed so we could watch some Veggietales a new favourite. This was the view of my lap:
While I realize that some parents might not think that cuddles in front of the television is quality time, I love it. A shared experience, something we can do together that is quiet, and when it incites laughter, nothing could be better!

Unless I’m mistaken, very few of those cartoons are the actual retro ones from our youth – they’re just remakes. I’d love to see Netflix bring the actually retro cartoons back! Like the original Ninja Turtles, and the old-school Smurfs!
