F really enjoys watching movies. IJ also watched a lot of movies at this age and I always felt guilty. But now that he is eight years old I can see that it didn't have a negative impact on him. Only time will tell for F!
Today (while the plumbers had the back of the house) we watched Finding Nemo. This was one of IJ's favorites when he was two years old! He used to jump up and down during the initiation scene and say "Oo-oo-oo!" And he would run and hide when the shark showed up. Before he could even say "shark" he knew that sharks were dangerous. F shouted during the movie too. But she shouted out at the end of the movie when Marlin and Dory were trapped in the fish net. She shouted, "No! No! Nooooo!"
And tonight (while the boys are at Taekwondo and we are waiting for the sheet rock guy to show up...and it's almost bedtime...but I digress) we are watching Up. During the scene where Kevin the bird is being chased by the dogs, F shouts, "Hurry! Hurry!" And she looks like this (please ignore the dirty shirt; we've been without a washer during this re-pipe/remodel project):
She also says during The Princess and the Frog [spoiler alert!], "That's so sad!" when Ray dies (IJ cries). I do love my sensitive children.
