Daddy Post: So recently I've had the chance to introduce Ruby to "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy as it was playing on TNT a few weeks ago. Ruby LOVED IT as she watched for a good 90 min. with me. As a result she asks to watch it on a regular basis and I have to explain how I don't have it on DVD. This usually leads to disappointment and I have to pawn off something like "The Neverending Story" or "The Dark Crystal" as the next best alternative. Anyhow fast-forward to this past Friday when I took the girls to the video store to get some movies for the weekend. Marty and I have been watching the "John Adams" mini-series that originally aired on HBO so I got that. Upon examining the case Ruby became convinced that "John Adams" is evidently a part of the LOTR universe. She let me know this once we were in the car and I explained to her that it was in fact "John Adams". She chose to refer to it as "George Adams" instead. When got home she adamantly declared, "I WANT TO WATCH GEORGE ADAMS NOW!!!". I, always looking for a few minutes of quiet, complied and put it in for her thinking she would become bored. 20 minutes later there was still silence in the living room so I went in to check on her and she was still intently watched "George Adams". I asked her what was happening and she bewilderingly replied, "I don't know." Classic... I'm just waiting for her to confuse an aging John Adams played by Paul Giamatti with Gollum.
In other news Ruby is REALLY excited to dress up as a bear for Halloween. It also makes for good playtime while reading, "Where the Wildthings Are." We went to OMSI this past Sunday. Ruby and Willa both soaked it in amidst the throngs of annoying kids and their doting parents. Of course, Marty and I don't qualify. You can see in the pictures that Willa likes bears as well.
