F4 Day 5: "North & South" from a toddler's view

 

Richard Armitage admirers

come in all sizes, ages and nationalities.

I know fans of every age group... including one of my favorite RA buddies, who is 80 years old. :)

I also know a certain 2 year-old little diva who thinks RA is pretty neat.  (Or Mr. Thornton, that is.) 

In this post, I'll call her Miss E... she's my daughter and cute side-kick, who has light brown hair

that falls in soft ringlets, huge brown eyes and the most adorable chubby cheeks ever. 

 

Miss E watched "North & South" with me for the first time last month.

I was folding the mountains of laundry I'd been avoiding for a few weeks (don't judge)

and decided to pop in a movie to help pass the boring time. 

JT: the cure for laundry day blues.

The boys were at school, so it was just us girls.  Miss E was happily playing with her doll house
and humming "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," but immediately paused when the movie came on and
plopped down her little diapered bum next to me to check out what was appearing. I didn't think

she would pay much attention to "North & South."  It's not one of her princess movies~

there's no song and dance or friendly animals that come to the rescue.

 

But she did pay attention!

 

Miss E danced around
the living room to the soundtrack.

(This is not Miss E.  Just a random toddler who
shows how awesome 2 year-olds are while dancing.)

 

She shouted, "It's snowing!"
when she first saw Mr. Thornton appear.

 

She oohed and ahhed at the beautiful dresses.

 

She commented on the tea cups,
and quickly went to retrieve her toy tea set to play along.

 

My favorite reaction of all~

she asked if Mr. Thornton was a "pince"
(translation: prince- thank you, Disney movies)
and said, "I like him. He my pince." 
It made me laugh out loud!

I guess this just proves that JT
can melt the heart of any female, even
those who are not yet potty trained.

 

 I'm so grateful that in a houseful of rambunctious boys,
I have at least one person who can appreciate period dramas with me.
I detect a true RA fan in the making!
