someone recently gave us a bunch of movies on VHS, and since noa has been sick all week with a high fever and cough we've been doing alot of movie watching. her favorite lately is bambi, and she's insisted on watching it over and over this week. she's really been so sick that she hasnt even wanted to be off the couch, so i've just been letting her relax and watch tv all day if that's all she feels up to. i started getting a liiiitle bit sick of bambi after watching it, oh, 10 times lately...so yesterday i tried to convince her to try something new. i attempted to talk up some of the movies by telling her how much other people like them, and after i explained what they were all about i gave her the options: "so we can watch alice in wonderland that emma really likes, or we can watch peter pan that nathan really likes, or we can watch james and the giant peach like mama really likes." she thought very hard for about thirty seconds and then walked over to where bambi was sitting in it's case...she picked it up, grinned, and said "or we can watch bambi that noa really likes!" {sigh} as i'm sure you can guess, we ended up watching bambi again. who could say no to that argument, right?!

Attagirl. Even feisty when

Attagirl. Smile Even feisty when she's sick. I'd be doing the same approach, mama. You should just read a book or knit while she's watching.

yeh

It started monday with a fever and quickly devolved into a snotty, coughing disaster. Poor kid is laaaaid up! I've never seen her like this, but she's doing better today than she has been all week. Another noa-gem from this morning: "mama, I can have cupcakes for breakfast?!" "Um, noo. We don't even have any cupcakes babe, but even if we did cupcakes aren't breakfast food." "But I'm sick! I need cupcakes!" And then she dramatically pouted around the house for like five minutes. She's going to win an oscar someday, I just have a feeling. Smile

to be fair

I probably need cupcakes when I'm sick. At least, I would need them if I thought of it! Smile

She is too cute, Amy! I hope you made it through the upteenth viewing of Bambi!
