Finding Nemo was the first movie my daughter saw in the theater. Josh had arrived home from a five month deployment toIraq not long before we ventured out to see our first movie as a new family.


I was truly worried Kami would talk through the whole movie. Something I don鈥檛 mind in kid鈥檚 movies but this time I鈥檇 be Matt Dumba Jersey Womens , not the random movie-goer, but the parent of a talkative nine-month old. We let Kami choose where we鈥檇 sit; she went for the very top row. To our relief only a handful of people filled the rest of the theater for our mid-day showing. I was nervous if she would like the movie, if anything would scare her, if it would be too dark Ryan Suter Jersey Womens , if it would be too loud, if she would sit still 鈥?I was a wreak. I wanted so badly for her to enjoy going to the theater, after all movies is what brought her mommy and daddy together. If it wasn鈥檛 for movies, Kami would have never been born.

I kept all my nervousness inside until the lights went down in the movie house and a wave of calm came over me.

I think the first words I heard were from Kami. 鈥淲ow鈥?she said. The colors were breathtaking. So vibrant and rich. You鈥檙e immediately drawn into another magical world Luke Kunin Jersey Womens , a world that you can鈥檛 help but want to live in.


Then reality set in, the ocean, just as on land, is a dangerous place. A barracuda hunts down hundreds of clown fish eggs tucked away in the reef. A mother Marcus Foligno Jersey Womens , willing do anything to protect her children, sacrifices herself.


After surviving five months of my husband being in a war zone, fearful if he鈥檇 ever come back home, I knew only too well about protecting children from the dangers of the world and at times feeling powerless to stop it but I knew as a mother I had to try.


One egg Jason Zucker Jersey Womens , although damaged by the barracuda attack is all new daddy Marlin has to hold onto. He names his offspring Nemo, a name his mate liked. Cradling the eggs and covering over its wound he says, 鈥淚 won鈥檛 let anything happen to you.鈥?How many times did I utter those same words to Kami? How tight did I hold onto Kami while Josh was away? Was I being as over protective as Marlin? Would I ever be able to let go? I remember thinking this movie is going to be hard to watch but I need to see it.


Periodically I鈥檇 look over to Kami seeing if she was enjoying the movie. She was soaking it all in. She seemed more mesmerized by Finding Nemo than Sesame Street and Teletubbies. Then I noticed how closely she was snuggling close to her daddy and I realized I wasn鈥檛 the only one who needed to see this movie.


Two weeks after Josh left forIraq, Kami said her first word. She was five-months old. I had just gotten off the phone with Josh. The war hadn鈥檛 started yet and time on the phone was short Joel Eriksson Ek Jersey Womens , but he was able to say that he was okay and I was able to tell him I loved and missed him. Kami played in her bouncer and I took a moment to lie down on the floor in front of her. I closed my eyes for a brief second to take in the fact he was safe when鈥?p>

鈥淒a-da?鈥?p>

鈥淲hat did you say?鈥?p>

Kami鈥檚 eyes grew wide. 鈥淒a-da!鈥?p>

I must have looked like a crazy person running around flipping over couch cushions and looking under magazines to try to find the tape recorder. 鈥淵our first word! You said your first word!鈥?At last I found the tape recorder Josh found for me. I rushed over to Kami thinking there was no way she鈥檇 say it again. 鈥淜ami can you say 鈥榙a-da?鈥?Say 鈥榙a-da鈥?sweetie.鈥?p>

Just as I pressed the record button, 鈥淒a-da.鈥?p>

After an amazing amount of praise and pride, the reality set in 鈥?Josh wasn鈥檛 there to hear it


I feared that Kami would use her new word to identify anything she saw, a ball Zach Parise Jersey Womens , 鈥渄a-da鈥?a bottle, 鈥渄a-da鈥?but I was very much wrong. Kami knew exactly what her new word meant. It started at the commissary on base. A solider would walk past and oh so softly I鈥檇 hear 鈥渄a-da?鈥?We鈥檇 visit the hospital for her checkups, her eyes searching, catching sight of camouflage and then 鈥渄a-da?鈥?For five long months my daughter was looking for her daddy and now her first movie is about a father trying to find his son.


Finding Nemo quickly became my daughter鈥檚 favorite movie. I鈥檝e watched it countless times and I swear each time I learn something new. I love how Sandy Plankton knew everything about everything (we all have that person in our life). I loved how Nemo a 鈥渄amaged鈥?fish learns strength from Gil who suffered the same disability but doesn鈥檛 let it diminish his hope of freedom.


Crush was my favorite. He鈥檚 the type of parent I want to be. When his son Squirt slips out of the current and for a brief second and is separated from the family Mikko Koivu Jersey Womens , Marlin freaks out and Crush calmly says 鈥淟et鈥檚 see what Squirt does flying solo.鈥?He鈥檚 there as a parent but knows he can鈥檛 fight every fight. Marlin (very much like me) struggles with how to know when you鈥檙e child is ready to be on their own. Crush in almost a surfer-koan form says, 鈥淲ell, you never really know, but when they know Mats Zuccarello Jersey Womens , you know, you know?鈥?p>

Marlin continues to struggle with letting go when it comes to his traveling companion Dory too. When both of them are trapped in the mouth of a whale, Dory tells Marlin that it鈥檚 time to physically let go of the whale鈥檚 tongue. 鈥淗ow do you know something bad isn鈥檛 going to happen?鈥?p>

Josh made it home. He was one of the lucky ones. I had my family back. I didn鈥檛 have to cry asleep at night anymore that had scent has left his pillow. But was it time for me to let go? How did I know that something bad wasn鈥檛 still going to happen to my family? Then a fish with no short term memory summed it all up for me鈥?p>

鈥淗ow do you know something bad isn鈥檛 going to happen?鈥?Marlin asks.


鈥淚 don鈥檛鈥?says Dory.


You simply can鈥檛 know if something bad is going to happen. You raise your children to the best of your ability. You balance protec .
