Vroom Vroom!!

Emma got to have special time with just Mommy and Daddy and we took her to her first movie! For the past week, we were talking up going to see Cars 2 and getting popcorn, candy and coke. She was getting so excited and every time there was a commercial for Cars, she would start asking to go see the movie. Yesterday was finally movie day. We woke up talking about the movie and she kept saying we were going to the "movie show" and have Dr. Pepper (she IS her mother's child). We got get her down for a nap so she would be nice and rested for the movie. Normally when we go to the movies, we sneak in (shhh!) our own candy and sometimes soda and just get popcorn. Since this was Emma's first movie experience, we wanted to get everything at the theater-which meant spending twice as much as we normally would, but it was worth it! The movie theater has a kiddie box that includes a drink, popcorn and fruit snacks. Matt and I had to have some snacks too, so thirty dollars later, we were all set for the movie. We got there in plenty of time so that she could take it all in. When we walked in, she was amazed (and I mean AMAZED!!) at the size of the screen! And so excited for the movie to start, since we go there early we had to watch all the previews and she was getting a little impatient. But, she did well. Before the movie started, there was a Toy Story Short Film and she was so excited! The Toy Story movies are her favorite and she was so excited to see them on such a big screen. When it ended, she whipped around and said "Mommy, its over!!" Matt and I both laughed because we knew she would not be happy when Woody and Buzz were gone. Quickly, she was over it because Cinderella's castle appeared with fireworks. She said "Ooooooh, it's so pretty!!!" The movie started and she did really well. There wasn't anyone sitting in front of us, so she spent some time standing up and laying her chin on the chair with her arms out. She turned around at one point and saw the projector and pointed and said "Look, another movie. I wanna watch that one!" We had to explain a few times that the bigger movie was better.
Winnie the Pooh comes out on the 15th and we know she's going to love that movie even more!
