This day I love.......: film

No comments

You may have seen on my Instagram feed that my youngest had a rather nasty accident. Without going into the gory details we have another follow up appointment next week to check again for any permanent damage, as when we first went there was too much swelling. She still has no feeling in her top teeth and has to avoid food of extreme temperatures, and we won't know until she looses her baby teeth what, if any, damage has been done to her adult teeth. In a bid to cheer her up she has had a few new treats, I know Christmas is coming but when your daughter has a very nasty accident you have to do something to take their mind away from the pain, try and pick them back up again and let them know how proud you are of them for their bravery.

The day after her accident I put on brand new bedding for her that I had been sent from Character World. Both girls are desperate to watch the Trolls movie but even though they have not seen the film they have picked up on the troll hype. My youngest loved the bright purple and pink colours and the troll design.

Normally the girls share bedding, but given this is a polyester blend my eldest daughter is unable to use it as it would trigger her eczema so it is just for my youngest. She loves that she has her very own character bedding, and that she does not have to share it.

I have tried to get a few photos of her in the bed at night but they turn out really blurry and you cannot see the bedding, so my apologies for that. Her face when she walked through the door to see the new bedding was amazing, she was so surprised and it really helped to cheer her up.

We have also been having lots of cuddles on the sofa and watching films together. I think some times when you feel a bit ill watching a film helps you to take your mind off the pain and you can loose yourself in your imagination. My youngest has been choosing the films and one she has been going back to is the BFG.

As a child I remember two books and films that scared me one was the witches and the other was the BFG, so when the BFG was released recently in the cinema I decided not to take the girls and instead wait for the DVD so I could assess how scary it was. The story follows Sophie, an orphan, who accidentally sees a large clocked figure in the night. The large figure is the BFG, Big Friendly Giant, who takes her away to Giant Country. The concept of giants taking children from their bedroom window always scared me and it was this I wanted to check to see how it had been done.

Like my youngest I fell in love with the film, it is such a beautiful rendition of the BFG and not scary at all. Neither girl has been scared by it and they both ask to watch it. They even mention is in one of my Vlogmas videos. The film stays true to the book and follows the story as I remember it. I have to say I wish the film had been done this way in my childhood, I would have wanted to watch it a whole lot more!

Watching the BFG, cuddling and her new bedding seems to have cheered her up! I just hope the appointment goes well next week, fingers crossed.

The bedding and BFG DVD was sent for review, all words are my own opinion

My eldest daughter is now 3. I can't believe it. 3. Time really has flown by, I look at her and she is so grown up. 3. We started our celebrations bright and early this morning, she awoke at 5.30am. She opened her present and that was it I could not get her away from it

Whilst I was making breakfast I could hear her singing. She sang, incy wincy, did her abc and even sang happy birthday to herself. I loved listening to her sing and play.

We had to do some shopping in preparation for her party, but shopping is one of my daughters favourite things to do. After shopping she had her hair done and it looks ever so nice.

My eldest is a huge Monsters Inc and Toy story fan. I thought for her birthday I would take her to see Monsters Uni and it would also be the first time she had gone to the cinema. She was excited all day at the thought of seeing monsters.

She was really good inside the cinema, especially as she has never been before. She understood the film and asked a few questions, which you would expect. I think I am going to have to take her to another film now! We both loved the new Monsters film, it is very funny. She asked in the car if she could come to the big TV again. I am going to take that as she enjoyed it.

We stopped in at the toy shop before heading to dinner. We have a few birthdays coming up so I thought we would quickly pick up some presents. The girls had their own ideas and soon started taking toys from the shelves that they liked.

I am thinking I might have found what the girls want for Christmas.

The girls, my Mum and I then headed for a birthday meal. My youngest became fascinated with the ice in my drink and kept taking it out to play and have a look.

My eldest got to choose one of her favourite meals, Pizza. We opened her cards and some of her presents whilst we waited.

The waitress noticed her opening presents and asked me if it was her birthday. My daughter asked for some ice cream for desert. The waitress then brought out her ice cream with a candle in and we all sang happy birthday. She could not stop smiling and my youngest started to clap.

I had a lovely day with my girls and I hope my eldest loved her third birthday.

Happy Birthday sweetheart

This day I love turning 3.
