We bought the movie TOY STORY last week and Ava has asked to watch it every day since. Of course I don't let her watch it every day but it is always her first choice. What's a mom to do when her daughter takes obsessions with different movies. Princess and the Frog, Sleeping Beauty, Robin Hood, Tinkerbell, Toy Story, they all have had a fair share of Ava obsession. But just the other day I heard Ava yell "SHUT UP Jessie" I immediately asked her where she learned those words? She quickly told me "Toy Story" Sure enough Woody has a little issues with strong, negative words, I never thought about it before. Ava takes in all that she sees and hears and even Disney kid movies aren't perfect. I can't keep Ava locked up, never to hear a bad word or see a mean gesture. Movies tell stories and have morals, they teach what is right and good but also bad and mean. I need to be more active in Ava's movie watching. I need to explain when something is not right, or if the character is not making good choices.

Too funny. Klara waves her finger at us and says "no no no no!" It is funny and too cute. I am excited for her to talk. I haven't seen that movie yet, I should ask Caleb to rent it. I am recovering from my sinus surgery, a week has gone by and life is miserable in recovery. Mom came and left, now Mom L. is here, slaving away, dishes, stinky diapers (yep, I can smell), gormet meals, yum and cleaning. It is nice to have loving mothers to take care of my family when I can't. Love you guys, I will get an update someday on our blog.
