my children are turning 25 today!

pegasus57's amazing "nursery."

......................................

happy september, lovelies!
i adore adore adore this month! it's my very fave.
filled with the promise of greaty things, crisp air, back to school fun,
and lovely lovely colours! last night i was thinking aloud with mr. rikrak about a funny thing that september 1st always brings to mind.

long before i was mommy to our darling little rikrak,
i was mommy to two other little sweeties.
yes, my first foray into mommying was to my dear
little cabbage patch kids, katie & kourtney.

september 1st was, as i recall, all classic cabbage patch kids' birthdays. so happy birthday, katie & kourtney and all of your classic 80's friends! ah... today my little ones turn 25! that's right, i've been mommying for 25 years! so hard to believe they've grown up so fast! it seems like just yesterday i was dressing them in great neon fashions from 1985 and decorating their yarny hair!

and doesn't it seem like just yesterday that north american parents were seemingly clamouring for a doll for their child! remember the bedlum?
(i read that originally, cabbage patch kids were all handmade
and made entirely of cloth and sold @ craft fairs! fun! )

so cheers to all the cabbage patch mommies & daddies out there!
happy birthday to your little one.
did you have a cabbage patch kid?
i'd love to hear all about them!
