Movie Night

Over the holidays, Nena and Fred introduced Nate to his first real movie...Toy Story (which he calls "Play Story"). He loves it...he is already a big fan of Buzz and Woody. (And I have to admit it was a nice break from Thomas.)

So, last Saturday evening we were trying to think of something fun to do with him and we got a crazy idea to take him to dinner and a movie. We decided to go to the "Dollar Movie" (which is now $1.75 but still a heck of a lot cheaper than a regular theater) just in case we ended up needing to leave 10 mins in to it and luckily for us a fun kids movie was playing :

"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs". The movie was really cute and to our surprise he sat completely captivated the entire time...he sat perfectly still in my lap and the only thing he said was, when the lights went down, "it's dark!" We bought the book before we went - thinking we needed to get him excited about the story for some reason - and now he is in love with the book...he has picked it out to read every night since we saw the movie.

It was really fun taking him to his first movie...I hope he loves movies as much as his mom and dad do!

You are so brave! We haven't attempted that with Jack yet. Thanks for being the pioneer!
