Definitely different circles for 3 year olds!

Sarah Jessica Parker's son James, is about 2 weeks younger than Alan. I admit to "following" him in the gossip magazines. So I was surprised to read an article similar to the link below where he asks to see Brokeback Mountain:

Alan hasn't asked to see a movie. He barely tells us what he did that day in school! I doubt the kids in his class would be discussing Brokeback Mountain anyway.

Actually, the scenario appears to be twisted from a story here:

where he saw the DVD and possibly TV commercials which makes more sense.

H saw a little bit of Super Troopers and really liked it. Couldn't let him watch it, though!

H often asks for different movies - the Easter Bunny is bringing him the new Wallace and Gromit movie, and probably a Thomas train or some track

Alan's asked to see stuff he's seen on TV or on DVD, but to ask out of the blue (as was originally implied in the gossip) for an adult themed movie seemed a bit odd. I do believe the child could have seen a tv commercial or the movie cover.

And if he was into cowboys? He'd definitely be interested in it.

What's Super Troopers?

It is incredibly unsuitable for a three year old!

BElla begs to see movies! Not, um, Brokeback, though, but little-kid ones. She is already nagging us for "Chicken Little," which comes out tomorrow.

We've discovered, however, that even though we put a TV in her room (not connected to anything except a DVD player and her InteracTV), we cannot allow her to have access to the DVDs themselves. She's obsessed with them, won't leave them in cases, and has destroyed quite a few already. And those things aren't cheap, dang it!

We took Natalie to see Curious George (highly recommended) and Lance asked her last night if she wanted to get the Chicken Little DVD which she said yes to. Movies she sees (that we don't already own and she knows and can request) are pretty much initiated by the parents around our house.

I love SJP. My best friend got me her new perfume for my bday and I am not a scent-wearer (beyond soaps and lotions) and I must say, it's pretty good and very subtle. I saw SJP on Ellen once and it was at least 6 months ago...she was saying how James Wilke was saying, "Mom, who is that blonde woman on TV?" And, then went on to say he loves Ellen (after SJP identified her) repeatedly. Holy cow...definitely different circles from N's dialog too. The most mature thing that we've grappled with is the fact that N and her little friends at preschool are all into "pretty skirts" and in order to avoid slowing down the morning, N Must Wear A Skirt With Tights (no leggings) every day. It's a cute phase, at least. She has had an opinion about what she wears for awhile now. But, I have a lot of jeans and pants that are just collecting dust, sigh.

I'm really curious to try her scent also - I'll have to find a sample place - it doesn't surprise me that it's subtle.

Alan is still in the I don't care what I wear phase. Maybe once in a while he shows interest in a Thomas shirt, but I could put anything on. He only knows how to take off his shoes and socks anyway.
