Dragonheart

Dragonheart was Kayleigh's favourite movie when she was little. We had it on video and one DVD - we have not yet been able to find it on Blu-ray. You would think that at the age of 4, she would have preferred movies like 101 Dalmations or The Little Mermaid - but no - Dragonheart was it. I don't know if at that age she understood the movie that much, but he loved the dragon. Th story may have been a little on the dark side but she loved it - when I think about it, it did reflect the way Kayleigh was - she was not a girly girl at all.

Kayleigh would watch Dragonheart almost every day, and everyday she would cry when the dragon died and we would have to re-wind the movie to show her that the dragon was still 'alive' and it was only a movie. Still, the next time she would watch it, she would again cry. It was so sweet that she cared that much about a make-believe dragon.
