Today is the monthly Cecilie day. I have promised her from the very beginning that when we had a new baby in the house we would still be alone with her once in a while. And why not celebrate Cecilie day by us going on our own to the movie theater? Then another day Neil and Cecilie could do something on their own. We saw a classic Disney animated fairy tale which meets with the modern, live-action romantic comedy in Walt Disney Pictures' ENCHANTED. Featuring an all-star cast, the film follows the beautiful princess Giselle (AMY ADAMS) as she is banished by an evil queen (SUSAN SARANDON) from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer (PATRICK DEMPSEY) who has come to her aid -- even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince (JAMES MARSDEN) back home -- she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?
Oh my, the romantic part of me loved that movie. So did Cecilie even though she normally doesn’t like girly things. H’m? Maybe there’s a girl in her some where after all?! She was certainly also being girly when she all of a sudden didn’t wanted to walk next to me when some bigger girls were around. Funny. I didn’t say anything before afterwards when we were alone in the car. I tried to talk about it with her “Cecilie, when I was a teenager I sometimes felt embarrassed if …” That gave us a good chat. A nice day today. First with Mary Ann who eat very well the most of the day. Neil didn’t wake me before 5.30 today. So I had many hours of sleep. When we woke Neil up round 2pm Cecilie and I made English breakfast for him/lunch for Cecilie. We all watched a dvd together; Beethoven. Right after the dvd Cecilie went to the movie theatre. Now neil and Cecilie are calling the UK-part of family who all are together today. I’m on my way to bed as normal this hour.
