It will forever be a mystery to me why the scene of "Baby Mine" from Dumbo makes me cry...every...single...time.... And I've seen the movie dozens of times. I honestly don't remember watching it without crying at that part, even as a little girl.

It may be that I love my mom so much, and I could not imagine having her be taken away from me and locked up in a place with the sign "mad elephant" outside it. haha...

I guess I knew I'd be a mother, deep down, even though I never consciously thought about it until much later. So I was starting to relate to how a mom feels about her little ones.

They are so precious; they're not ours, but we get to teach them...and be taught.

I'm really not a good mom--I fall short in so many ways! But I want to be. And everyone has to start somewhere, right?
Here is my first baby, forever. Poor Isaac: such huge adjustments!
And his crazy Momma cries every time he watches Dumbo.
