movie-watching/impressions.
Yesterday, and the day before, the girls and I decided we were going to watch Frozen, Tangled, and Beauty and the Beast. Surprisingly, my eldest didn't like Beauty and the Beast, as it was 'too scary', and she didn't like the Beast... but yet, she'll sit and watch Monster High? Zerrin, on the other hand, loved it, and was giddy when Beast transformed into a boy.
She actually wanted to know what the boy's name was after he transformed. I'd never given it a second thought, so I guess I need to try and find out what Beast's real name is for the sake of my three-and-a-half year old. Hard to believe she's going into preschool next month!
On thoughts of the new LJ menu: I like it. First impressions were WOW, I don't have to drag down a pop-up menu to find what I'm looking for.
Mischief has done something to her left front leg and paw. She's been limping something awful the last three days, I found her asleep on top of Zerrin's books in the girls' bookshelf last night. Then, after everyone had gone to sleep, I found her on top of me trying to get lovings- every single time I moved my hand in my sleep, she was there, love-biting me, purring up a storm, licking my hand and wanting more. Consequently that led to some extremely odd dreams, most of which were disjointed and nonsensical, and the rest I forgot as soon as my youngest decided she wanted to wake me up and give me back Aden's teddy bear my friend Jess had gotten for me in memory of him. I let her borrow Aden's teddy last night because she couldn't sleep... even though she had her own teddy... it kind of comforted me thinking that her little brother was watching over her in her sleep last night. Zerrin also wanted a hug from me right off the bat, and was asking me fifty million questions in her fashion about clothes, ladies' underthings, etc. OK OK kiddo, momma needs coffee. Like, now.
She also asked me about who the man in the picture was with MeeMee... my grandma B, her great-grandma. So I told her that it was her PawPaw. She tacked on "Great" and called him her "Great-PawPaw".
Yup...That's your Great-PawPaw. And you would have liked him.
I miss him. I knew his health was ailing shortly after Xylia was born, but I never dreamed in a million years that he'd be gone shortly after she turned one.
I'm going to try and take the girls to the library today for a SuperHero Day at 10:30. Whether or not we actually make it is a whole other thing, because Xy's behaviour the last couple days has been crappy. Yesterday was crappy, too. And the color chart does absolutely nothing to help motivate her anymore, so I've been asking her "Does a 1st grader act this way?" Usually the answer is no.
Well, here's to getting up and around. And maybe another cup of coffee.
