I Love Lucy

When my nephew was a baby, several episodes of I Love Lucy played late each night. My sister, while up for Munchkin’s 2:00 a.m. feeding, would watch Lucy faithfully each night. Everytime she sees the show or hears the intro music, she’s flooded with memories of rocking my tiny, angelic nephew to sleep early in the morning.

I wonder what late night show will be on when I give our baby their late night feeding. Surely nothing as good as I Love Lucy plays at that time anymore. Tonight’s 2:00 a.m. line-up includes Frasier, Animal Cop’s Houston, Star Trek: TNG, and Friends. What happened to the classics?

Whatever show we end up watching, I have no doubt that seeing that show will remind me of those late nights, gently rocking my baby back to sleep.
