'Gain!!!

I just wanted to post really quickly about Bennett's favorite movie of all time, so far.

I had grabbed the book version of this story from Goodwill a little while ago and he did like that, but he LOVES this movie. I had originally rented it from the library after I found it browsing the Children's DVDs and I am glad that I did! I purchased it last night from Target since the library was taking its sweet time fulfilling my request for it even though I returned it on Tuesday! It was a good purchase, though, because I know we will be getting our money's worth & then some with this one. 

B knows what's going to happen he's seen it so many times... but he still wants to watch it over and over and over again. Even more than Thomas! Last night I got home after a marathon grocery shopping trip [i loathe grocery shopping!!!] and gave B an ice cream sandwich [his favorite dessert] since he had eaten a good dinner!!! He spotted the movie and he wanted to watch it instead of eating his ice cream sandwich...!!!! That is a devoted fan if you ask me!!

If your child hasn't seen this movie yet, I would warn you there are a few parts that are darker... there is a scary nightmare train that of course causes a bump in the Little Engine's journey, but of course this little sweet train makes it over the mountain in the end and everything is good again. I was hesitant at first about letting B watch such a thing but I cannot shield him from everything and the real world isn't all happy and everyone isn't all nice... and importantly... they overcome the nightmare train, and the bullies. All in all, this is a cute film for little ones and isn't as annoying to watch as something like Thomas... I can say I've seen it a handful of times and I'm not totally sick of it yet... although I do have a strong feeling it won't matter if I do grow tired of it, B will always want to watch it... and that's OK with me. :)

And just as the train reaches the top of the mountain, B always says... "'Gain!" ... he wants to watch it all over again. Hard to tell the kid no!!!

Do your little precious angels have any favorite movies yet???

I know what I'll be watching this evening... "Little Engine Could" !!

LOVE♥

I just finished watching the Pilot for Lipstick Jungle. This was a 2 season show starring Brooke Shields, Kim Raver & Lindsay Price... it's about 3 highly successful and powerful women and their lives and such. It's so good and I am still miffed they discontinued it after only 2 seasons. I did watch it while it was actually on TV, but it's one of those shows where you can watch it over and over again. It is a total chick show, but that makes it that much better!!!! I recently found out they have full episodes online and have been re-watching them during my lunch hour. It's a wonderful way to forget about everything else going on and just fall into the cute clothes and drama that of Lipstick Jungle!!!! I put both of my headphones in my ears and sit back....ahhhhhhhhhh ... if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!!!!! :)

Anyway, B is still sick. He has an icky cough and a runny nose... and a slight fever. If it continues for a couple more days, I think we'll have to bring him in. He is still in good spirits, that sweet little guy. Hoping he makes a turn for the better soon!!!! It's heartbreaking to see your little babe feeling miserable. I give him props for still putting on a sweet smile and giving Mommy & Daddy a hard time when it's time to change his diaper. We've put potty training on hold for a little bit now since he just transitioned to his no-front-rail crib big-boy bed. :) So far P & myself have remained unscathed from the sickness that is around us.... *KNOCK ON WOOD*... we hope to continue this at least through the weekend in Chi! Can't wait to see Sissy Liz & Brotha Michael!!!! Will miss little B, but it's always a wonderful feeling to know he is in the care of the next best thing to M&D...GaGa & PaPa. ♥ We owe them the world!!!! Hopefully someday we can return at least a portion of what they've given to us, we would be so lost without them. Parents really are the bomb, ya??? Wish I would have known that while growing up and I wouldn't have been such a little S***. Hahahaha...hindsight is 20/20.

I hope everyone else is healthy and enjoying another Fall day.... tomorrow I'm going shopping with my Momma at the MOA. Just found out my Company's Christmas Party will be Dec. 3rd!!!! Momma has an excuse to get a new dress now. *happy dance*

ttfn....
