Little Meramid....Just Thinking...

So, I have tried to pride myself on filtering what my children watch on tv and dvds. Well lately baby bear has been in love with Ariel form the Little Mermaid, so when we get in the car she will watch the movie. Well Saturday I am listening to the movie and really do not like a lot of what I hear. I may be over thinking, but I dont think I like the message it is sending my daughter. This is what Ursula says to convince Ariel to trade her voice for legs [Ursula:] Have we got a deal?
[Ariel:] If I become human, I'll never be with my father
or sisters again.
[Ursula:] But you'll have your man. Life's full of tough
choices, innit? Oh - and there is one more thing.
We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
[Ariel:] But I don't have any -
[Ursula:] I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a
trifle. What I want from you is . . . your voice.
[Ariel:] But without my voice, how can I -
[Ursula:] You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't
underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred
For ladies not to say a word
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?

Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man

So, yeah sure Ursula is not the good one here, but just the general theme, that first she can't be happy where she is, that she has to change everything for a man and leave her life and family and give up who she is? maybe my daughter picks up on none of this and then again maybe she does or maybe it plants that seed? Just thinking....

Easter Picture

Here is their first picture together! Baby Bear was such the big sister that day! Anyway just wanted to share their cuteness with everyone!

March

gosh just realized how long it has been wow!!!! Brother Bear turned 10 months yesterday! I can't believe that - he is so precious! Baby Bear is really during great at being the big sis!!!We have just been busy but wanted to get on and post some new pics of my precious bear cubs!!!!! Happy Spring everyone!!

A loss for words

So it happened and I knew it would , just not this soon. I was bathing Baby Bear the other night in the sink ( yeah she is still small enough to do that when we do not have 30 minutes for all her bath toy play in the big tub) and there was a picture of her cousin on the fridge and he is crying, it was his newborn picture. She asked why the baby was crying and I told her that he was not happy to be taken out of his mommy's tummy. So she smiles and points to my tummy and says - "momma's tummy - I in your tummy momma". Well I did not know what to say - I really think she can not understand things yet and I think it is not really age appropriate but I do not want to lie and agree either- so I just say yes that is mommas tummy and she laughed and moved on to something else - so no biggie. But I have thought about it and wondered and consulted others and just worried about it - I sooooo want her to be alright with everything and know the truth but I want it to be presented to her when the time is right- well a few days later she is in the tub and we are talking and I bring it up that some babies come out of mommas tummies and sometimes it is not our mommas tummy but another tummy and she just looked at me like "why are you telling me this stuff?" I even went on to tell her that she came out of Goldilocks tummy and she still looked at me that way so I dropped it and it has not come up since ----- so anyway just wanted to vent I guess - it just took me by surprise - oh and any advise or anyone want to share their experience PLEASE do!!!!

Hello!

Hope everyone is have a great New Year! Just wanted to share a few pics! the kids are growing soooo fast!!!!!

Did I really think I was going to have time...

TO READ A BOOK????? I love all the suggestions and I actually got The Shack squeezed in ... but it has been crazy around the bear house!!! my little bears have been sick and esp. brother bear he is just pitiful -- he has been having really bad breathing problems and he is saying "ma-ma" and it is just so sweet but I think he has taken 10 years off my life this past week or so--- I have never saw a baby struggle to breathe like he has but I think we are out of the woods , he is still having issues but it is soooo much better! anyway just seems like awhile since I have posted - heck not sure when I showered last - :-) hope everyone is doing well I need to post pics soon - the kids are getting so big! well better run, the phone is ringing, the dogs are barking and both kids are waking up at the same time and I am not even kidding I think someone is at the door -ahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
