Keep Moving Forward
If you’ve seen the movie "Meet The Robinsons" then the phrase "keep moving forward" by Walt Disney means something to you. Before seeing the movie tonight, I didn’t really know what it was about. I knew it was "Disney" and animated and that the kids were begging to see it. So, off we went.
The movie is set around a little boy , in an orphanage, and he keeps going through interviews to potientally find "his parents". They show the orphanage and they show him being dropped off as a baby. As we watched this scene unfold before us, Tob leans overs and whipsers "that is just like J". Yeahhhhh ! He finally got it.
Finally, my sons can relate to their adopted sister. They understand a little better "where she came from". We didn’t really get a chance to discuss this tonight after we got home due to the time, but now we have an opening on where to begin.
I can’t wait to buy this movie when it comes out. As times goes by, I know that I will sit and watch it with J and we’ll talk about her experience. Watching this movie made me so happy that I’ve started the birth mother search. I felt like Walt was telling me that I was on the right path. (either that or sleep deprivation is getting to me).
So, as ole Walt Disney says "Keep Moving Forward". That’s a great motto to adopt for life.
Absolutely a great motto…funny how things work, isn’t it? Glad you enjoyed the movie and got more out of it than just entertainment. I think what you’re doing is great. And I think you’re a wonderful, cool, gorgeous, sweet mom.

There’s a popular Country song right now with the refrain, “If you’re going through Hell, keep on going…” because you might get out before the Devil knows you’re gone. Your post reminded me of the song — even though it applies to a different part of your life. I’ll be thinking of you when we see “Meet the Robinsons” this wkd.
