Hooray for CARS!
Tags:After the chat this morning (you can read the transcripts here) I decided that Simon and I needed to get out of the house. I looked up times for the movie CARSand we were just in time to catch the movie. Simon has been to one movie in the theater before and we left about 1/4 of the way through because it was obvious it was just not going to happen. Figured I might as well try it again.
And we had already been to McDonald's earlier in the week so he already had one of the cars in his possession. Armed with the little blue car, a bag (to fit the food in once we got there so I could also hold his hand), and both of us in our comfy clothes we headed out.
And you know what? He made it through the entire movie and I am pretty sure he had a good time. We had an aisle seat in the front for easy get-away acess if necessary. At first he sat on the step next to my seat. Then he sat in the seat next to me and eventually he went back and forth between my lap and the seat next to me. He did awesome. He talked quite a bit (so we were working on whispering, except in the loud parts he got to yell as loud as he wanted and say VROOM VROOM as loud as he wanted) which I pretty much had to accept if we were going to stay there - and thankfully there was no one in front of us.
The movie was super cool and fun and I had quite a few laugh-out-loud moments. I love Pixar. They rock. But overall, I was just so happy that Simon made it and enjoyed it.
I think he may have even been proud of himself.

Kudos for Simon!! I know whenever I have gone to the theatre with my son, its always a toss up on whether or not he will make it through the movie or not. But I took him to see Cars and I must say he did great as well, I am not sure if being 4 yrs.old is helping or not but it sure feels great to see him sit through a movie and really enjoy it now! Congrats Ali on enjoying the movie too!
