BRAVE

We took our very BRAVE girl to the theater this morning for the opening weekend of Disney-Pixar's BRAVE! We have been so excited about it--a couple of times a week, we'll cuddle in bed and watch the Disney Interactive book edition of BRAVE on the iPad. We were already familiar with the story, so we couldn't wait to see it more in-depth. Grammy took Johnny out with her shopping, since he's still not yet ready to sit still that long. Monsters University next summer will be his first experience at the show, can't wait!

Brave is a beautiful story about all that encompasses a mother-daughter relationship. Any relationship involving two strong, opinionated woman is bound to have it's moments of trail, as Elinor and Merida faced...but at the heart of it all is LOVE...and at the end of the day, that's all that matters. I know in life all my mother has ever wanted for me is happiness...and that's what I wish for Lola, always. Sitting next to her in the theater, holding hands, watching the story unfold was wonderful. 

It's funny that the movie was about Merida's revolting against her mother at the idea of her being betrothed--because that's exactly who Lola saw the movie with...Preston...her BETROTHED! I can't see her arguing that fact in the future, ha!
