Best two hours of my week...

Introducing my 11-year-old daughter to Roman Holiday. The minute I saw the dvd cover at the rental store, I knew. Tonight's the night I introduce M. to the wonderful world of Audrey Hepburn. The joyful, innocent, delighted-with-life mood of the movie exactly fits M's approach to life right now. She loved it. Watching it through her eyes? In a word, magical.

I love Audrey Hepburn (wanted to name Hannah that - but Josh wouldn't have it. It's also now the name of Hannah's imaginary friend). So glad that the Adorable Miss M loved it.
