Cam’s favorite movie is WALL-E. We’ve watched it about five times in the past six months, which is no problem for me since it happens to be one of my favorites too. It made me realize how special it feels when your child connects with something you love. (Shocker: I can’t say the same for his other obsessions with diggers, garbage trucks, and the like.)

On a drive today, he asked to listen to “WALL-E music.” And funnily, he sometimes requests instrumental versions of songs, so we ended up listening to this on repeat. Between the ride there and back, probably 20 times.

But it didn’t get old. It’s also one of my favorite songs, and there’s something really sweet about watching him find joy in the same stories and sounds that move me.
