My daughter is really interested in trees at the moment and last week, I told her about a story I know of where there are walking and talking trees. A week of her nagging me to watch LOTR and I'm super-glad that I gave in because she absolutely loved it.

Before you all begin filleting my parenting, yes I did censor it well. We started at The Two Towers because I felt like she needed some action at the start to get her hooked into it. She loved seeing a wizard fight a fire monster. My kid was ALL about it. Made me so damn proud as a dad.

All together, after my censoring it made TTT about 1 hour and 50 minutes. She loved every minute of it.

This was yesterday. Today she asked what happens next. I said, "the creepy fella tricks them into a giant spiders house" "😯". So we watched TROTK and again, she was so enveloped. I thought I was gonna save this for when she was a teenager, but... Oh well. I watched Jaws when I was 4 and I turned out FINE!!!
