Yup, there's Uncle Christopher with his gloworm almost 25 years ago. What a picture, huh? You can just tell that this is THE favorite toy for his 2nd Christmas. Now the Gloworm is kind of an odd toy. You just don't think of a worm as a great stuffed animal...and then to make it even stranger when you squeeze it he lights up in a sort of E.T. kind of alien color. Personally I would think the Popples (how I wanted one of those!) or Pound Puppies would have been the toy still going strong...but obviously I'm not the one who understand the toy industry as you can see below.
A big thank you to Great-Nana for sending the Gloworm. It has really helped distract her from the teething pain. Hopefully, these teeth will cut soon. I'll be able to fill my rain barrel with baby drool if she keeps going like this.

aw what a cute pic! Totally remember getting a glow worm myself. I was never strong enough to squeeze him hard enough to make him glow though so I'd always make my dad do it. She looks so happy and delighted! :)
How cute! I had one of those glow worms too (didn't we all??) On a separate note, I read your blog entry about seeing MC Hammer!! That is so funny. I remember having a tape of his (and, of course, Cindy Lauper is definitely queen of all that is 80's...)
Ha ha the glow worm...I totally forgot about those!! Back in the day I had a Mother Goose where you could put the tape in her and she would read you stories!! I'm glad it's helping with the teething pain!
How adorable! It's so cute to see the glo-worm love carry on through the ages! I love the comparison pictures I might have to have you email those two to me. Hope you guys are having a good summer!
