Parental Discretion Advised
Last night we were watching TV before bed, and April had Alleke on her lap. The show we were watching seemed relatively harmless until one point when the main character’s skin melted off his face, and he turned into a talking meatball. I grimaced, and April put her hand over Alleke’s eyes.
When the scene changed, and April thought it was safe for Alleke to watch again, she took her hand away.
Alleke must have thought the show was still too scary because she took April’s hand, put it back over her eyes, and held it there.

That is so cute. It is hard to find movies that we like and our kids like!

You know, as a mommy to an almost two year old, I do find myself in constant fascination with her natural responses to new encounters. She (and all little ones)does not have learned reactions as adults do, so those moments like putting her hands to her mouth when she is laughing really hard, holding her ears when we are chattering to loudly while her show in on TV, or holding our faces when she gives us goodnight kisses (we did not show her this) are for now uniquely (sp) Sophia.

I’m so glad I found your site. I will subscribe in a heartbeat. We have a six year old and a four year old. We’re planning on moving to Spain in a few years.
Read you soon, and thanks.

With our 4 kids spaced kind of randomly over a 12 year period, it’s close to impossible to find something the whole family can watch and be happy with!
