This morning I was trying to get some work done sewing slings for my French Market this weekend. Lucas was playing quietly at his train table for about 10 min. and then got a little restless. I had a few more things I needed to get done so when he brought a DVD to me and asked to watch I was relieved. But to my surprise, the DVD he brought to me was Beauty and the Beast. Smiling at his choice, I put the DVD in and turned back to my sewing machine to continue my work. But as soon as the movie started, I couldn't resist. Lucas and I sat on the futon in the basement and watched my favorite movie together for about 30+ minutes. It was so fun! He asked questions, I explained the characters and the story, and he sat mesmerized by the music and dancing in one of the opening scenes. I fast-forwarded to the "Be Our Guest" scene and he thought that was super-cool, just like his mommy.
My son and I had a bonding moment while watching a Disney princess movie, but it is so much more than that.... It is a movie I love and now so does he. A momentous morning indeed. :)
What a sweet, wonderful moment for the two of you! I'm so glad you wrote this down. Not only to share with us, but to remind yourself of what a sweet boy he is. (you might need that reminder when he hits the teen years!)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that movie!
