Ah the times, they are a changin...

The boys were settled in for their hundredth screening of Toy Story 2. As they giggled over Woody, Jesse and Bulls Eye's antics on a record player, Aidan turned to me and asked:

"What does a record player do?"

I think Chris and I were both a little stunned by the question. We realized that beyond his little Toy Story addiction, there was a chance that Aidan would never, in his lifetime, encounter a record player. He is a four year old who regularly requests "his" playlist from my IPOD. But a record player? Ancient, baby, ancient!

And all I could remember was my memory of dancing around my mom's living room as a preschooler, grooving to "Cookie Monster at the Disco" as it spun on the turnstile of an ancient record player. Today, it's Laurie Berkner downloaded from ITunes. The times really are a changin...

Yeah, Julia knew how to use a remote by the time she was 8 months old. She'll never fight with her siblings over who has to get up to change the channel.
