morning has broken ...

hmmmm .... that was just the first part of the song my son loves to sing. and he's learned a whole lot just by listening to songs and music as played in most films he'd seen. if he likes them songs, he'll end up watching the film over and over again - or should i say, play the part with the particular song he likes the most over and over again. yesterday was no exception. we had a DVD-time together. i introduced him to two classical films, Mary Poppins and The Wizard of Oz. and as always, i sat and watched the film with him as he's to see this for the very first time - mostly for support to be able to explain the concept and content of the film to him. otherwise, he would have his own interpretation of the film - nah, it will all then be noot ... it's just plain wrong. one should not, ever, undermine the faculties of a child's creativity and imagination.

well, our cozy time in front of the telly went fine. he loved both films and its characters. he loved the musical arrangements of songs sang in each films. and as was the case through many generations, he remembered songs as "just a spoonful of sugar" (Mary Poppins) and "somewhere over the rainbow" (The Wizard of Oz) the most. in fact, he sang it with glee this morning as he went up from bed. i wouldn't be surprised if he'd ask me to see it again today. oh, my son already have a recall of the films, too. last night, he told his dad that he'd seen the film about the "nanny with the magic flying umbrella" and "the story of the lost girl in the magical world of Oz with her friends who doesn't have a heart, a brain and the scared lion" - that's what i'd call memory retention, or shall i say a typical select memory from a child?

yup, morning has broken here ... i just thought i'd write this down - another sweet thought playing in my head spent with my child. actually, i have plenty of them. nothing wrong in sharing, isn't it? well, who knows what would happen during the rest of the day? one day at a time ... that's the rule of the living ... so, until then ...
