Abi's First Movie

About a week ago, Adam and I were talking about whether or not we thought Abi is old enough now to enjoy a movie in a theater. And by enjoy, I mean sit that long and actually watch the movie. There are a couple of kids movies out right now so we thought this might be a good chance. We also thought it would be fun if we both took her since she rarely has both of us all to herself anymore. My mom watched Madi and we made a big deal out of the fact that "only big girls get to go to movies." And you could tell she thought she was pretty cool. I made some popcorn at home (and I'm one step closer to becoming my mother), grabbed some fruit snacks, stuffed them in my diaper bag and we were set! We saw Monsters University and she loved it! She was entranced by the whole thing, and sat in her seat pretty much the whole time. Towards the end she got a little squirmy and sat in Adam's lap for awhile. Right when it started, the classic Disney intro came on with the sparkling logo and Cinderella's Castle, you know the one. And Abi yelled, "Look Daddy! We're watching Lion King!" HA! Uh...no. Apparently, that's the only Disney movie she's seen. I'm not sure if it was the movie she loved or having Mommy and Daddy all to herself. Probably a combination. But I know it felt like a special morning to Adam and I too. When did she become so grown-up!?



feeling excited!
