Merida/Abby

Today was a day that Abby has been waiting for since June 22, when she experienced her first theater movie. Today the movie "Brave" came out on DVD. I can't tell you how many Youtube clips of that movie we've watched since that day in June. She was so excited about finally seeing the movie again that she woke up this morning with it on her brain. Since she has a Dada that loves to surprise her, he went out and got that movie for his little peanut and had it waiting for her when she got off the bus. The minute I told her she had a surprise waiting for her, she knew exactly what it was and she was so excited she started dancing right there in our driveway.

As we watched the movie I couldn't help but think of how similar Princess Merida and Abby are. If you haven't seen the movie, and you don't want to spoil it, you may want to stop reading here - I'd hate to give anything away.

Abby must have made some comparisons as well, because tonight she declared that I was Queen Eleanor, Jason was King Fergus, and Bruiser was Angus - she, of course, was Merida.
