We saw Lilo and Stitch. Now it is a disney cartoon flick but it definitely has some touching momments. It is a good one to take the WS. Even if their head it lost on the alien ship.... this movie has a bit of those also. Ohana = family. That is the thought you walk out with. Good thinking. It can lead to some interesting discussions. In my family, H said he liked the movie. The 3 boys we took (nephew - 9, classmate - 8 and son - 7) all talked about Ohana = family. Well I am prejudice, my family is from the islands. I already loved the movie. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Family in any language is a beautiful word. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> L.

That is why I cried <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> no sobbed during parts of the movie. YS & friend just looked at me like they thought I was the alien.

I LOVED this movie. My son's best friend is a little girl JUST like Lilo. Always into something.
I'm not entirely sure why, but my 4 year old son HATED this movie. Usually he likes movies with girls in them. After all his best friend is a girl. All during this one he kept saying "mommy lets go home!"
Then at the end he said "I only liked the big black guy"

Bluekeys,
If you can make sure the Ws sees it. That was the point of this post. It is a way to use this movie as a support for help reestablishing the family as important in our lives.
take care,
L.

Orchid, Point well taken! Don't know if H will be willing, but we can certainly ask if it seems the right thing to do. We're on pretty shaky ground right now, so I don't want to push too hard. We're not quite up to the point where there's that family feeling with him yet. Girls and I certainly feel he is an important part of our family, just don't know if he sees it yet. He's not comfortable (nor do I think I may be) yet with doing things as a whole family yet. He's been totally abducted by the mother alien ship and I think is still undergoing some weird surgery yet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> I think he's still incommunicado!! Girls and I will go if they want to... I just hate seeing flicks by myself. Have a great weekend! Your suggestion is a sound one.

Hi Orchid!
My son's birthday always lands on a Disney
animated release, and so far we have
always gone to see the movie - this year
was different in that WS did not come with
us...that was hard, but later my son had WS
take him again to see the movie.
I loved the movie and also bawled. I've seen it twice with lots of family!
Aloha,
Lo
