Jordan's new favorite movie is "Thumbelina" (by Hans Christian Anderson). I picked up the movie at Target in their sale bin for $5.
I remember being a kid and loving the story. She loves it too.
Last night when she was going to bed, Jordan asked me if I ever dream. This is the first time she has mentioned dreams to me. I said that I do and I love to dream. She then told me that she loved the "marry part" of Thumbelina and hoped to dream of Prince Cornelius tonight. She then started singing/humming the song to the movie. It was adorable. I guess you had to be there but it was so darn cute the way she said it.
Side note: I noticed at Target in the Barbie section they have Thumbelina Barbie toys. How timely. I went home, looked up online and found out that Barbie is coming out with a Thumbelina movie in March. I think I'm going to have to tell the Easter Bunny this may be a good thing to include in Jordan's Easter basket :)
Thumbelina goes to marry the Mole. Some young jitterbugs thaw out the Prince. At the altar, amid visions of Prince Cornelius, Thumbelina refuses to marry the mole and runs. The toad arrives and tries to catch her, but she refuses him too. She runs out and heads towards the light outside of the hole. Prince Cornelius shows up after she runs out and duels with the Toad. Above ground the bird finds Thumbelina and flies her to the veil of the fairies. It is frozen and she doesn't believe it's the veil of the fairies. The bird tells her to sing. She sings a little and gives up, then Prince Cornelius starts to sing and then proposes, Thumbelina accepts and sprouts wings. They get married and "live happily ever after."
