Merida Comes to Life!

 
For months now, Lia has wished that she owned the Brave movie and Merida's bow and arrow set.  Occasionally, we would borrow the movie from friends and Lia would pretend to be Merida while watching the movie and ride her horse (the couch's arm) and shoot arrows (a stick) from a bow that she had rigged out of a wooden pole and yarn.  So, you can imagine her absolute excitement when she got the real bow and arrow set and the movie from Santa this week.  It has been so fun to watch Lia shoot arrows all over the house the past two days.  She really has gotten quite good.  And I just had to grab my camera  and take a picture yesterday morning when I looked into the family room and found her shooting her bow and arrow from atop her "horse" while watching the opening scene in Brave when Merida is doing the same thing!  Oh, how I just love this little girl's imagination!
