Toy Story

"Now Woody, he's been my pal for as long as I can remember. He's brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what."

So I went to watch Toy Story 3 yesterday *without the girls... Shhhh..., and I cried. I am so touched. Toy Story not only brings back all the good memories, it also reminds how much you have grown through out the years. It made me think of myself. It made me think of "when was the last time I watched Toy Story?". I know the movie by heart. I seriously do. Like Andy, I had Woody too, and also Buzz. And like Andy, I wrote my name under their boots as well.

As much as I remember, the last time I watched Toy Story was when I was 7. Just like Andy. Replaying the movie over and over again, watching it with my family. My mom, dad and brother. But now, I'm sitting in the cinema, watching it alone and it brings back all the good memories. Playing with my Barbies, pretending to be a Princess, hugging my toys to sleep, waking up and find them on the floor.

It's been 10 years since Toy Story 1, and I remember when I got Woody. It was Christmas and I was on the bed with my mommy. Mind you, I still believe in Santa Clause that time, and I heard the door downstairs opening and I told my mom that Santa Clause is here. I wanted to race downstairs to catch him, but mom just pulled me back to bed. As all kids do, I didn't get much sleep and practically wait till sunrise, cause it's Christmas! I opened up my present and there he is, Woody. Just like the movie, he had a string on his back and say the exact same thing as the movie. I had Woody.

Time pass too quickly I s'pose. I can't believe now that I'm faraway from home and turning 18 next year. It's either a good or bad thing.

XOXO,
Nathalie
