Bye Bye Nemo... for now

I've assumed that no matter the age, everyone dreams in some way or another. But I wonder if L&D's age is one where dreams become more vivid or even nightmares. Libby has not been sleeping well the past few nights. She wakes up crying like she's hurt, but doesn't seem to be when we check on her. It's the saddest cry ever-- like she's afraid or maybe having a nightmare. Last night, she just wanted me to hold and rock her, which I don't really mind. ;) But after I put her back down, she tossed and turned all night long. No crying- just awake and unsettled. Poor little girl.

So, I was talking to my friend, Leslie, at work today and she asked if they had seen any new movies lately that may have been scary to them. Turns out that Darrell bought "Finding Nemo" last weekend and thought he fast forwarded through the bad parts. But there's a scene with a robot-machine-looking piranha that is scary to me! As soon as it came on, I ran over to the TV, but they did see a second or 2 of it. So, sorry Nemo, but you're officially being put on hold for another few years. This makes me ponder--- why is Disney so opposed to women and mothers? Almost every movie of theirs has some sort of mother dying or turning into an evil witch or something. What's the deal??

Meanwhile, as I'm rocking Libby last night, Drew was turning a little bit, but still asleep. Then all of a sudden, he started giggling and had the biggest smile on his face. It was the cutest thing. He only did it a couple of times, but I wonder what he was dreaming about because he surely was tickled! Libby looked at him and then up at me as in, "What's so funny?" Maybe he was thinking about his favorite new movie "Cars" and "Nie Nih MaNeen"! I think that one is safe for now since there's no talk of his mom anywhere in it.
