This afternoon Elizabeth, Isabelle (3), and I watched part of The Sound of Music. I love the movie and was watching to see how Isabelle responded. While watching both the movie and her, I was thinking back to the first time I saw the movie.
I was five. Mama, Daddy, and I watched it. It was such a long movie, we paused it after the party, after Maria left, just as the screen went to the wide shot of the front of the house. A cliff hanger, right?
My favorite scene used to be when Liesl and Rolfe kissed in the gazebo.
Now, I watch the movie and say, "I've been there."
It's special to share things I love with children I love.

I concur! Dwight Eisenhower has been a favorite historical figure since I was a boy. One of my fondest memories of my Army days was when we traveled to his home in Abeliene, Ks. There is a well known photograph of Ike with his brothers, sitting on the poorch. I was able to "recreate" that photo with my three sons and I in approx. the same positions. (what a lark!) It is just those sort of things that make being a parent fun....but no one said you have to be a parent to stir discovery or wonder in a child, and it seems you are well on your way Kirsten!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a neat story! What a cool memory to have.
DeleteThank you! I enjoy sharing special things from my childhood with younger kiddies : )
