Cool Mommy

So just a while ago, I needed to get some dishes done, so I took Lexi to her toys. That wasn't working and she was losing interest too quickly, so (instead of pulling out Backyardigans, I thought I'd give her a little variety) I pulled out some Disney Movies to choose from. After probably, seriously, five or six minutes of looking from DVD cover to cover and tapping her cute little finger on her lips, she reached forward and grabbed "Finding Nemo". I pop it in and get it started, putting her in her high chair for a snack. I thought I was being all cute, offering her fish crackers with her juice. She didn't want fish crackers, though, and pushed them away. I tried to think of what to give her and I remembered something ... The other day when I was grocery shopping, I got Alexis some packages of fruit snacks. I realized that one of the packages that I got her was Finding Nemo Fruit Snacks! I went and got the unopened box and showed it to her, telling her that it was Nemo and pointing back and forth between the movie and the box. All of a sudden, her big blue eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "Nemo!" It was just so sweet! So I felt like such a cool mommy, putting on "Finding Nemo" and even having Finding Nemo Fruit Snacks to go along with it! :o) Yeah, I'm lame - but I'm a cool mommy!
