8.8.8 2.22.08 With Christmas fast approaching I decided that we would do some "Christmassy" stuff with Sasha to get her excited about the holiday. On November 17th we were driving to the Norfolk Grand Illumination Parade. That's the Festival where they light up all the buildings in Norfolk and Portsmouth with the holiday lighting and then have a huge parade. Before we got on the expressway, I crashed into a decorative boulder that had presumably fallen off the back of a landscaping truck. One of the front tires exploded and the rim was destroyed. Needless to say we didn't make it to the parade. So last Saturday I decided to take her to the Holiday Illumination Celebration at The Founder's Inn. We spent the day there watching Irish and Polynesian dancers and a marionette puppet show. We ate cotton candy and giant pretzels and popcorn. We watched kids get their faces painted. We got balloon animals from clowns and visited with Disney characters. Santa sang us songs from around the world and Sasha got to sit on his lap and make her official request for a Jack-in-the-box. We went on a horse drawn carriage ride around the grounds and watched the Grand Illumination when they turn the lights on all at one time. One of the last events of the evening was a reading of the Nativity story by Pat Robertson. The Founder's Inn is owned in part by The Christian Broadcasting Network and/or Regent University which is all headed by Pat Robertson. One of the CBN shows is the 700 club. The Christina Daily News show. Their cameras were there all day so I had a feeling we might show up if they ran a segment on the show. On Monday, November 26th, they did air a segment on this year's Illumination Celebration and there is footage of Alan and Sasha on their carriage ride and also being read to from the Bible by Pat Robertson. I don't know how long this link will be available but it can be seen here. If the tab for "shows" is selected then pick the episode for The 700 Club: November 26, 2007. If you can load this video on the 700 Club website and fast forward by sliding the little ball under the video window to about the 40 minute mark you will see the segment with Alan and Sasha. You only see our backs on the carriage ride, but during the profile shot of Pat Robertson, Alan and Sasha are right center screen (Alan keeps looking up at the ceiling for some reason.) The 700 Club is a internationally syndicated show and is broadcast just about everywhere on Earth. 03.14.07 I've been really sick with the flu and a high fever all week. So I haven't been able to get near Sasha at all. No kisses or cuddling with Daddy. I'm probably more upset about this than Sasha, but I'm sure she'll be happy when we can start snuggling again. Anyway, over the last day or so Holly has started to show symptoms too. On the way home from school today, Holly told Sasha that "Daddy is still sick, and you won't be able to play with him until tomorrow." Then she said "I'm also starting to feel sick. Who will take care of Sasha if both Mommy and Daddy are sick?" Sasha thought for a minute, "ummmm, uhhhhhhh, hmmmm" she said.... and then she had her answer - "Oh! My Dentist!" Let me start by saying, although this is a horrible admission of parental irresponsibility, that Sasha has watched many, many scary movies in her life so far. The First movie she ever saw, when she was 6 days old, was George Romero's Dawn of The Dead. Since then she's pretty much watched whatever I happen to be watching (although I did make sure she was not in the room when I watched Pink Flamingos again last year.) I assumed she really didn't know what was happening on screen, was too young to know that she was supposed to be scared of horror stuff, and usually didn't really pay close attention to anything anyway. These assumptions are apparently no longer true. Last Friday we had the neighbors over to watch a movie. We decided to watch the 2005 remake of War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. I assumed this was a safe selection for their 12 year old daughter and I knew Sasha could watch it because the two of us had just watched it last summer together. So we're all sitting there and during the scenes when the lightening is striking everything, Sasha got out of her chair and crawled up in my lap. She didn't cuddle, she just sat kind of bolt upright and watched the screen. Moments later in the film, one of the alien tripods bursts up through the city street and starts attacking. The Tripods make this loud bass mooing sound and as soon as it started to break through the street and honked it's loud roar, Sasha leapt off my lap and went running across the room and up the stairs whimpering and crying. Holly went up and comforted her and read her some bedtime stories and put her to bed so all was well in the end, but I guess the era of age appropriate movies has, unfortunately, begun.
