Beauty and the Beast
Belle instantly became my favorite princess. She is strong, smart and fiercely independent. And of course like any other princess (to be) she is kind and gracious. And of course she can sing!
Belle does not need saving. Another shinning quality about her. In fact, Belle does the saving in this story. She sacrifices herself to save her father's life. "Take me instead." she pleads to the beast. At the end as Gaston is battling against the Beast, it is Belle who comes to his aide. And that is what I love about her. She is not a sing songy wisp of a girl who pines for the day her prince will come. She did not love the Beast on sight. She fell in love with who he was. Oh and she certainly was not afraid to speak her mind! That is why Belle is my all time favorite Disney Princess!

I have three children, but I have been pregnant 4 times. The first one we were so excited. I think we the world knew in less than 24 hours. Unfortunately by the end of that week I had miscarried. I waited the prescribed three months and well, 9 months later we had Kristin.
Yes, I know exactly when my Little Middle was conceived. We were in Georgia at the time. I remember feeling extra jet lagged when we got home. Except the jet lag carried on...and on....and on. My friend jokingly said, "Maybe your pregnant." I was.
The boy did not take five years. He did take 2 though. In fact, my doctor offered to refer me to the fertility clinic. I politely declined and told her I was putting it in the Lord's hands. It wasn't long after that I became pregnant with Ryan. I wasn't convinced despite feeling like I was going to puke every stinking hour of every stinking night and a day. I bought a test for peace of mind. It was positive.
1. My sister and I learned sign language in order to have secret conversations
2. My sister and I played "Bionic Woman" together
3. My sister and I locked our brother out of the house...twice.

For her 16th birthday, she took all of her friends to a play: Beauty and the Beast. (Some of them were less on board than others...)
She still loves these movies, and she is 32 years old.

Your "facts" are awesome. Hmmm...I can see doing all of those things, so, I think I'm going to take a wild guess and say #1 is the lie. You may have had secret conversations, but I'm not convinced you both learned sign language to do it.
thanks for sharing...
Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie too!
visiting from Jenny's Alphabe-Thursday, have a great day
My cat Sara is posting about a film (15 years +). I may post more about a film on my blog too. (I am late and pressed for time!)
Best wishes,
Anna

I think I've seen it approximately 47,518 times because all three of the Grands adore that movie, too!
I can never figure out the lies!
So I'll just say, sweet post. Thanks for linking to Alphabe-Thursday.
