She has loved this Disney movie since she was a year old. She loves cuddling with her stuffed Hei Hei and Pua that she got for Christmas.
I like that Moana is a leader of her people seeking to do what is best for them. This requires her to display some extremely brave actions in the movie such as sailing through an endless ocean, confronting a demi-god, and jumping into the realm of monsters.
My Girl is definitely a leader as well; she insist on leading the way as we walk anywhere, even if she doesn’t know where we are going! And I am trying to raise her to be brave as well. One of the songs that I sing to her is to the tune of “Mary had a Little Lamb”…
“Storm is a brave girl
Brave girl, brave girl
Storm is a brave girl
She’s my big brave girl”
When she was a baby, I made this sail from 2 old pieces from out chicken coop and an old sheet that I had. I just used a staple gun to attach it. We went to a nearby lake with a beach to take the photos this year. Storm enjoyed waving the palm leaves today while shouting, “Hosanna!”
Joshua 1:9 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
My granddaughter also joined us in our Moana fun. She is 2 years old and Storm is 3 years old. She is wearing the baby girl Moana dress that Storm wore a couple of years ago, and Storm is wearing the toddler girl Moana dress that we found a a garage sale!
