Vikings, Damsels, and a Grumpy Old Troll

Halle the Viking
Halle, Annie, and I joined Bubba and all the cousins for dinner and a movie on Saturday while the guys were at Priesthood Session. We saw "How to Train Your Dragon". Really cute movie, but a little intense. I even found my heart pounding in parts. Annie slept through most of it, which was nice. It's been awhile since I've been to a movie in theaters and I was a little nervous to take her. I was even more nervous to take Halle, but apparently, she can handle vikings and fire breathing dragons. Kinda funny since the day before she was playing the damsel in distress at Playgroup. She kept climbing on top of the shoe rack and calling out, "Save me!". Then her little rescuer, Grant, would help her down. They did this over and over...and over. It was pretty cute. She sure picks up on random things. And I'm not quite sure how I feel about the influence of tv yet. For instance, she's been learning a lot from Dora the Explorer. The other day she needed help with something and she said, "Help, Mommy! Ayudeme!" "Cool," I thought, "She's learning Spanish." But then today she called me a grumpy old troll. Suddenly I'm not as big a fan of Dora. ;)
