Tinker Bell

We just watched the new Tinker Bell movie. It is adorable! It is beautifully made! It tells the story of Tinker Bell's birth and shows how she learns to be herself and fit in where she belongs. It is a great story that tells kids (and adults) that they don't have to be anyone else to be happy. You only have to do the best that you can and be the you that you were meant to be.

So many times, people are told that they can do anything they want to if they just try hard enough. I have a big problem with that! First, we can't all do everything. There are limitations even on those among us who are smart and healthy. It can be so hard for people to learn that they just aren't capable of everything. Second, we wouldn't all be happy doing the things that other people are good at. We each need to find the things that we are good at and that will make us happy while we do them.

I think that kids should be taught that they are special just because they are them, not because of what they can or cannot do.

I also love the books that Disney has put out telling the tales of the fairies of Pixie Hollow. They are fun little stories to read with your kids again and again.

Anyway, I loved the movie and I'm glad that I bought it for myself and my daughters!
