Emotions

We decided this past weekend to watch a movie about a pig that could talk called "Gordy". Not the greatest movie but Jayden loved it.  I found it on Netflix.  Well, we learned very quickly that Jayden now understands sadness in a movie.  He always seemed to get excited when the tempo of the music picked up but this was different.  The little boy falls into the pool and can't swim...he was screaming for help and the pig came to the rescue (off course).  As he was flapping his arms in the water...Jayden began to cry uncontrollably with tears falling down his face.  I thought at first he pinched something or hurt something.  He began to say "Boy, Boy, Boy"  Joe and I just looked at each other and I hugged Jayden and began to tell him the little boy was going to be okay....He talked about the boy and the Pig for the rest of the day.

As the week goes on, I have continued to notice it.  Just now....Nemo was taken on the boat and Jayden began to say..."No boat, No boat" with panic in his voice .  He also watched the Lion King yesterday and when Simba's dad dies, Jayden stood up and kept saying "Bird, Bird, Bird" with concern....because the bird tries to help.

It just amazes me how much he understands...

Have a great day everyone!
