I've lost count how many times I have watched this today. Merry Christmas. Happy Summer Solstice. You know, either one, whatever.
I suppose I should be thankful that we are not watching this 2 minute clip over and over:
Elise loves movies. They are her drug of choice to control agitation. She particularly loves holiday specific or never-in-real-life stuff. I have concluded that Netflix must be run by either someone ON the Spectrum or someone who has a child on the Spectrum. Because whatever else is put on or taken off, it's never the holiday movies. Never, Ever, Ever, Ever. I know because Gingy's Spookey Story has not once left our Instant Queue since November 1, 2011. And yes, I don't miss the irony that we saw it for the first time AFTER the holiday was over.
Sometimes we get to watch the whole movie.
Sometimes we watch 3-10 minute clips on constant recycle.
I guess, in general, I am glad that this self-soothing device is somewhat publicly acceptable. But I would seriously love longer clips, or even a WHOLE movie...I comfort myself that they will get longer as she gets older.
I leave you with my BFF Forever, Gingy's Spooky Story: The Bride of Gingy". And for those of you that are Elise's friends, this is "Red Lips".
