Finally! We found a movie that Daphne will watch (excepting the Baby
Einstein and Wiggles DVDs). Last night we put in Finding Nemo and she loved it. I think it is because it is mostly blue. She loves to watch blue screens. I can safely say that blue is her favorite color.
Speaking of Disney/Pixar films, when did I start getting so emotional when watching them? I can hardly think of what happens in Bambi and just thinking of Dumbo makes me have a lump in my throat. Last night I had a difficult time watching Nemo's Mom die. Hey, if I spoiled it for anyone get over it. Everyone knows that the Mom always dies in Disney cartoons. Anyway, will I get over this emotional stuff when Daphne is older? Will I be less emotional when she is thirteen and driving me crazy? I hope so because I hate crying over movies.
It was worse when I first brought her home. I was so emotionally overwhelmed that just looking at her made me cry. I think it was the hormones that were raging through my body. I don't cry when I look at her anymore, but I do get a funny, warm feeling in my stomach when I look at her while she is asleep. Sigh!

You NEVER get over the emotional attachment to your own kids. You cry when 'they' sing 'Baby be Mine' from Dumbo. You cry when they have a rough day at school. You want to pull the lips off of anyone that speaks unkindly to them. Even when they are 20 and drive with their friend to California you pray they will be okay and feel relief when they arrive home safely. It's motherhood, its natural and the emotions felt with all the ups and downs of raising children NEVER leave.
