Helping Indiana Jones & June from Little Einsteins get off to school

Today was a dress-up day at school and my son who is currently[1] a raving Indiana[2] Jones fan, decided to go as his idol. The resemblance is uncanny, see for yourself:

 

My daughter went as June from the Little Einsteins:

Indy of course had his trusty satchel[3][5], but I don't remember if June has her trusty blankie and baggie of goldfish in the show.

[1] AKA until something better comes along. We thought Star Wars was here to stay because it lasted from Hannukah until his birthday six months later, and so all the kids in his class bought him star wars toy. Little did we know, that was the exact week that Lego Indiana Jones came out, and as a result Star Wars became dead to him.

[2] He says "in dee AHHH nuh"

[3] Although Jared insisted on calling it a purse, and who am I to correct him? I tried to call it a 'european carryall' once and he looked at me like I was from outer space[4].

[4] Not in that "Cool!! I'm five years old and you're from outer space and I like stuff from outer space!!" way - in that "I am channeling the look I will be giving you in ten years when I am an adolescent and you are way too uncool for me".

[5] I can't think of the word "Satchel" without thinking of Ford Prefect.

Back in 1984 when the Olympics were in LA, my son would emulate all the track and field guys. He was Carl Lewis, Edwin Moses, anybody who leapt, ran, but he did it inside the house. I would come home and there would be an obstacle course set up using sofa cushions, chairs etc. He did the steeple chase by running a circle (weird house I tell ya) and then having me flick water on him. He's now 31 and I'm sure he will teach his kids to do the same in a much bigger house with a hot tub instead of flicked water. Sometimes I want my little boy back. Or at least closer (he is in Iowa and I in Michigan)

If you've got ten years before you're too cool for her, you're doing better than me. Earlier today, I got my first "Mom! You're embarrassing me!" from my not-quite-9-year-old. My crime? Dancing in the car. Alone on a road. Where no one else could see.

Sigh. It's gonna be a long ten years till college.
