I feel like I should explain the Dumbo answers. When we decided to take Mia to the circus a couple of weeks ago, I thought she should have some idea of what a circus was. We already owned Dumbo on DVD, but she'd never seen it. I sat down to watch it with her one day, and she was really excited because I told her that it was about one of her favorite animals-an elephant. She was enjoying the movie up until the part where Dumbo's mommy got locked up. They were singing the Baby Mine song, Dumbo was crying, and his mommy was rocking him with her trunk. Mia turned to look at me and burst into tears! She was SO upset. We had to stop the movie. When she was able to talk again, she sniffed, "I want to watch Mickey. It will make me happy." Poor, sensitive girl. We had a talk about how Dumbo would be happy soon, so after a little Mickey, we turned Dumbo back on. She finished watching it, and decided that she liked it. Since then, she has watched it about a dozen times. Maybe she's making sure that Dumbo ends up happy every time!
Wanted to sleep with her circus elephant!
