Monsters Inc.

Andy turned on the TV for Sam a few Sundays ago and Monster Inc was on the Disney channel. Sam wanted to watch it but she only a few minutes before bedtime. She had never seen it before and lately many of the Disney movies scare her so she won't even think about watching them. But I told her that another day we can watch it if she wants because we have it on DVD.


So a few days later she remembered and asked Andy to put in the movie.

Here are my 2 monsters watching Monsters Inc together....

So after a few minutes Alaina had had enough of the Bumbo chair and I took her upstairs to get ready for bath and bed and Andy let Sammy continue to watch the movie. He was in and out of the family room checking on her and she was just glued to the movie. About an hour later I am nursing Alaina in her room and I hear Sammy yelling "Daddy Mommy" and sobbing. I can hear Andy run into the family room and ask her what was wrong... She says in between sobs..."Boo had to leave." And bursts into tears again. Andy tried to explain to her that it was just a movie and Boo had to go home to her Mommy and Daddy and then shows her the little ending part that shows them fix the door so they could still see each other... Sam then says "I want you AND Mommy" so Andy brought her into Ali's room and Sam gave me the biggest hug and was still sobbing. It was so cute even though she was so sad. It was the first time she really connected with the story of a movie. She has never even sat still for an entire movie that was more than a 30 min Little Einsteins. So it was a real milestone for her little emotional self... The whole time Andy kept looking at me and trying not to laugh and mouthing to me that Samantha was so much like me...
