Growing up I can remember my younger sisters (not naming any names but Sariah and Tekara come to mind) watching certain movies over and over and over again. I can also remember where us older sisters would eventually resort to hiding them so that we wouldn't have to hear them anymore. There are a handful I can remember that drive me bonkers even thinking about! I will probably never own these movies because of that.
Aviendha is starting this phase. I hope that it is short! When she DOES get to watch a movie, the one she wants is always the same. I can't even tell you how many times we've watched Lady and the Tramp in the last few months. The last few days have been torture to entertain her while we've all been sick. She is a little more resilient and got sick first so she's been feeling better than Nick and I have. Five times in one week is more than I can handle, 2 of those being on the same day......
Today we watched it for the last time (for a while anyway). The new rule will be: When you've watched it twice, censecutively, it goes away for a month (or longer depending on how often she's given the chance to watch something). Hopefully this will get her to cycle through what we've got and help her try new things. Sounds simple enough right?

Sounds simple enough, right? Good luck with that!! That girl knows what she wants.
hahaha! I remember them watching Beauty and the Beast so many times that the movie "disappeared" along with Lion King!! What a fun phase for you!!
