Beauty and the Beast

Anneke went to watch my cousin Julia's performance of Beauty and the Beast with Rockford High School. She is now completely obsessed. She has been listening to the music that my mom loaded on a little MP3 player for her.

A few moments:

"Hey! The beast did just what Beauty did! That's such good manners!"'

"AHHH SKIP THIS PART! THIS IS SO SCARY!!"

We only watched about 25% of the movie

Bedtime. . .

"Mommy, sank you for getting me dis milk and honey, but I have a pwoblem."
"What is your problem?"
"Well, every time I take a sip, my eyes open up and then I don't go to sleep."
"Well why don't you try putting your milk and honey down and go to sleep."
"Oh yes! I will twy dat!"

I guess it worked. . .

More Dreams

Ani has been having bad dreams lately -- just when she's drifting off to sleep.

Here are a couple:

"So, it was your birthday? and you were sitting in front of your cake? and you were sitting on one of those roller-chairs, with the wheels on the bottom? and you were going to blow out your candles, AND THE CHAIR ROLLED AND YOU FELL RIGHT INTO THE FIRE ON YOUR CAKE!!!!!"

"So, deah were these two little boys, and one of them was Jonah, and they were out in a little boat on the water. And then, ANOTHER boat, came and went right over the two little boys (and one of them was Jonah), and the two little boys, went RIGHT UNDER THE WATER! AND NO ONE CAME TO HELP THEM! NO ONE!"

She is usually comforted by the thought of puppies.
