Over the holidays my husband MADE me watch Rocky. He was extremely disappointed that I had never watched it before. I tried to argue that I had no interest in it, why would I? I am a girl, I am not from Philadelphia, and my sister and I liked things like Muppet Babies and West Side Story when we were young.
Even my brother in law got into the argument all the way from Brazil and insisted that I watch it. Threatened to disown me and remove me from the Shores of Grace team. It was pretty serious.
So, I gave in and watched the first one........and well.....kinda liked it. So I watched the second one. And then I watched the third one too. I was disappointed in the third one so I stopped there.
Anyway, Elliott was around when the movies were on, doing his usual running around, playing with his bus, jumping, etc. Even at 5 1/2 he does not like to sit for a movie. I didn't even think he was really paying attention until the next day when he started running in place and continuously telling me that he wanted to be strong like Rocky.
Then a few weeks later, after no mention was made at all about Rocky, I was standing in the living room and Elliott ran up to me and whisper/sang "getting stronger!"
I almost fell on the floor laughing. Cutest thing ever.
And then a few weeks after that, this happened:
It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but Elliott's eye had a major collision with his cousin Josef's head. First his eyebrow swelled up and then over the next few days it began turning a beautiful array of colors....
He was very worried about going to school until we told him he looked like Rocky. He grinned, and went to school.
The End.
