My husband just said this morning, "It's like he's opening up". If I was a mystic I'd say it must be some of that strange March madness in the air! But I'm not, praise be to God!Keithsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05122219673684349680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434662234064169811.post-29824846930771976382011-03-27T19:02:31.879-06:002011-03-27T19:02:31.879-06:00Sue, that is wonderful!

It sounds like Sam is a visual thinker. With the interesting "live" action of the movie uncluttered by words, he was able to say what he saw! Dr. Jim often says to use wordless books and let the child tell what he sees, but this shows the values of wordless movies! Is that movie available on DVD? Justin (5) wouldn't comprehend it as well as Sam, but I think the whole family would enjoy it, since it was originally created for IMAX theaters. Are there other similar movies that you and Sam could watch together? GOD's BEST! AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
