Everything old is new again...

Well over the weekend i had my first of 4 Mother daughter mornings with my Maya who is 10. It was a morning set up to create a start for conversation about growing into a woman with your child. It was great. I think i got way more out of it, in the sense that i realised what my mother went through thinking about her child growing up and changing from baby/child to woman. IT breaks my heart and makes it feel to full with love at the same time. I don't want her to grow up but then i do want her to grow up and turn into the amazing adult i know she will be.... if any of that makes sense!

I was as always the embarrassing 'Mummy', the poor young girls look so frightened that i said to them at the start that we are just going to talk about Vagina's LOL, which they all laughed and giggled and blushed at. So the devil in me repeated the word over and over again. Some how this brought up the movie Kindergarten Cop, which i remember as a kid thinking it was ever so funny.

That night, as i sat down with the girls i said i have a movie for us to watch, they groaned as it wasn't one they were familiar with. It started and they kept looking at me going this is boring and me saying just give it a chance. They ended up laughing the whole way through and thought it was the best movie in ages.

This got my Husband Martin and i talking about the movies we loved as kids. He listed 'Lady Hawk', 'The Goonies' and i thought of "labyrinth' and 'The navigator'. So we are going to try and watch 1 a week and see how many they love from our past.....

What are your favourite ones from your childhood?
