My Little Animation!

Notice the POOL of ranch dressing he helped
himself to when I stepped out of the room...
for a second.

Have you ever seen Ponyo? It's a cute, strange little movie. The boys and I have grown an appreciation for director Hayao Miyazaki ever since My Neighbor Totoro  became a family favorite. I just realized today though, as Ponyo is on the t.v. in the background, how nice it is to see an honest interpretation of a young child's wild, carefree behavior!
Just today, my three year old gave me a run for my money when I went to our Women's Bible Study Kickoff at church. He ran around in circles, jumping up and down, begging for donuts, and would drop to his knees while I held his hand! Can we say frustrating??? But just now, I imagined him as a little male version of Ponyo. (Except she doesn't get so whiney!)
It has been such a colorful year with my three year old! Maybe it's because he has older brothers and he has to make himself known, or maybe he has inherited some extra "boydom" from his daddy...needless to say, I have had my hands VERY full with him, and I have had LOTS of laughs too!
