Nemo

Over the summer Sawyer was rewarded for peeing in the potty by getting a 10 or 15 minute youtube video. After getting sick of those videos I offered to let him watch a little bit of Finding Nemo. I fast forwarded past the part where the mom and most of the eggs get eaten, but then let him watch the next 20 minutes. In my mind he would watch 20 minutes and the next day he would watch the next 20 minutes, eventually watching the whole movie. Instead he kept asking to watch the same 20 minutes over and over again. He was especially fixated on the part where Nemo is captured by the scuba diver and then drops his mask in the ocean. And he has never watched any of the movie past the shark scene. So this last week we were at Disney World with the Garlands. One day at the Animal Kingdom we watched a 30 minute musical stage play of Finding Nemo. Of course it is the first time he actually watches the whole play (of course this being an abbreviated version). He seemed to really enjoy it and sat intently watching, leaning on his buddy Liam's knee during the performance. The funny part is that yesterday, he told someone that he saw the play, but in the play Marlin gets Nemo back, which he said is different than the movie, because Marlin doesn't get Nemo back. :)

And so it begins...

"Mom, why do I have a pee pee and a bum and Nala just has a bum?" This was said as he is washing his hands after peeing and Nala is just getting on the potty. I am not ready for these talks yet, but I guess I better prepare myself!
