and guess what it's ok. The girls have also watched their fair share of boyish movies but that's not the point. The point is that its ok that he is enjoying movies with songs, dance, and learning classic stories. Are the tales the same as the Brother's Grimms?, no they are a cleaner, edited, more pc and cuddly version. He is learning other lessons too like to be brave, to not talk to strangers, to ask for help, to be adventurous, to stand up for others, that sometimes bad things happen, plus so much more. Not to mention that a cool animal sidekick or some talking dishware can take you a long way. (Now if someone can find me a happy little bluebird to do the dishes? Maybe call Disney?)
You might say but he's a BOY, its ok he is also 13 months. I promise I am not traumatizing him. Right now its about soothing soundtrack, bright colors, and a story line that mommy hasn't a million times since his sister's out grew the dvds. I am refusing to have him grow up and say I can't watch this, its for girls. Movies are for all ages and genders to enjoy. (Also before someone runs out screaming about screen time, he really maybe watches a 90 minute dvd once a week. Give or take the nap he usually takes part of the way through.)
Now if anyone needs me, we need to check the mail to see if Mulan has arrived yet.
