Our little Wild Thing...

Ever since Camryn was very little, she has loved "Where the Wild Things Are." Morgan is warming up to it, but Camryn has always loved reading that book, for her it ranks up there with "Go Dog Go" and "Mr. Brown Can Moo." We aren't sure when she first started saying the Wild Things phrase, but she has done it for a while.

Here she is with her Aunt Amanda telling her about all the things the Wild Things do. She is a smart little wild thing.

Speaking of "Where The Wild Things Are," April and I went to see the movie when it first came out. We both grew up loving the book (in fact I still have my very well worn copy from when I was just a little guy). It would be hard to say that we "liked" the movie although we did, it wasn't what we were expecting at all. It was very real... at least the emotions of each wild thing. We loved it, and yet... it left us wishing it would have done more. It was hard not to get wrapped up in the feelings of the Wild Things, so I guess it was well done. Not a kids movie, but a light hearted and heavy hearted movie.
