I so wanted to write about my day with Hannah yesterday. Manny & I took her to see the movie "Brave." What a CUTE movie!!! The main character reminded me so much of Hannah because of her beautiful long, curly hair (even though the character's was red) and because of Hannah's outgoing and sure-of-herself personality; but the girl in the movie had grown into her teen years and was having a hard time conforming to her responsibilities as a princess. I could envision Hannah and her mother having similar dialogues when she's a teen although Hannah has a tender heart, loves the Lord and her family and is so willing to please them both (the Lord and her family)., and I pray she never loses that.
Miss Hannah already knew some parts of the story line. She had been warned by her cousins who had seen it before her so she wouldn't get scared and she didn't. She started talking about it (and other things) as soon as we were in our seats at the theater. I was hoping the people sitting all around us would be tolerant of her talking as long as the movie hadn't started yet, but when it did start I had to remind her to be quiet, lol. She is always full of so much wonder and excitement...I hope she never loses that either.
Hannah turned to me at one point in the movie and whispered to me, "are there real princesses, Grandma Dee?" to which I cheerfully replied, "oh YES, Hannah, there are!" She smiled and sat back into her seat. I knew we would continue that conversation when the movie was over, and we did. I loved sitting through that movie with her. Manny & I love spending time wither her. She adds so much to our lives.
After the movie we took her to the food court to get some cotton candy. She and I were quite pleased when just last week we discovered there was an automated machine in the mall that for $3 would make that delicious confection right in front of your eyes and she just had to show her Papa how it worked. He stayed to watch her eat that delicious spun sugar on a stick and then had to leave us to finish up his work day. Hannah & I walked through the mall and I found her a Poly Pocket Doll of the movie character she had just seen. Her face lit up when I told her that I wanted to get it for her. She hadn't asked for it, but I knew she would enjoy playing with it and would remember that we had gone to see the movie together.
For all the memories I have already made with that sweet littler girl and for all the memories yet to be make...I am so grateful...Thank You, Lord! :0)
