"I watch a nuvie"

This is something we hear about 500 times a day from Miss Princess. Watching "nuvies" (movies) is just about her most favorite thing in the whole world. We have this little CD case that looks like a ladybug that's full of her movies and she has to sit down and pick our which ones she wants to watch. Sometimes she'll get on a kick and have to watch the same one over and over (i.e. "Finding Nemo" for about 4 months straight) and then at other times she'll pick a different one every time. We've had "Beauty & The Beast" in the car DVD player for a while now and she can practically sing the opening song word for word. She can't always say the name of the movie clearly when she's telling us which one, but we definitely know which one she's talking about.

Just a few examples:
Beast-"Beauty & The Beast"
FoxHound-"The Fox & The Hound"
Beauty-"Sleeping Beauty"
Lilmermaid-"The Little Mermaid"
Puppies-"101 Dalmations"
Rella-"Cinderella"
PetaPetaPeta Pan-"Peter Pan" (poor baby gets hung on the "Peter" part sometimes)
AliceWunland-"Alice in Wonderland"
NoWhite-"Snow White"
Jungleking-"The Lion King"

If you haven't noticed the trend, we're Disney movie fans around here. :) We're really thinking about taking her to Disney this year even though she is so young and likely won't remember anything. But she's SO into Disney movies and tv shows right now that I know she would just love it. We're just trying to find a good deal since we're going to the NDSC conference also and that's going to end up being pretty expensive for 2 trips. We shall see.....

This is Joyce. I am not sure where you live but a really good alternative to going to Disney is to go to the Disney on Ice Shows that tour the country. They are so well done and lively that it makes that characters seem like they are real. I've taken Sarah each year since she was seven and she just loves them. Actually she has photos up right now of the one last year.

Thanks Joyce, that's a really good idea! I'll keep my eye out for when it comes to town.

Yay, are you going to Cali then? What about making a vacation out of it and doing Disney out there? I think we are making a vacation out of it, but I'm not sure the plan yet.

Good to hear how well Karli is doing with singing and speaking! Way to go Karli! Janna is the same way about movies - gets hung on watching the same dvd for awhile and then switches to another - mostly certain Barney, Wiggles, and CGeorge shows. Not sure she'll ever have time for a whole movie :)
