My five year old son is growing up a little too fast for his mothers liking. One thing that I have noticed lately is that he is far more interested I real life movies than he is in animation anymore. For as long as I can remember, his favorite movie was The Fox and The Hound.

We were talking about movies last night when I was tucking him into bed and I felt a little bit sad knowing that Todd and Copper had been replaced with a whale named Willy. It is not that I have anything against my son watching Free Willy, but it just seems so grown up for a little guy.

He wants his bedroom to be all Orcas and though I think that would be fairly cool, I am a bit concerned that next month he will want space aliens or Transformers. I do agree, with sadness I my eyes I am sure, that the Precious Moments has to go. But, part of me feels that if I let his nursery go, I am also letting my baby go, and maybe it is time for me to do this.
