Winnie the Pooh

We took Josh to his first movie in the theater to see...


It was at the $2 theater, so if he didn't last very long, we wouldn't be out much money. The theater was pretty full with the lots of kids of all ages. The strangest was to see two teenage boys there together. But then again, how could anyone not love the Pooh, right?

Josh did so great, he sat on my lap for the first half and was mesmerized. He recognized the characters from his toys. We had brought along his big Tigger pillow pal, the pooh blanket and two little figurines of Pooh and Eeyore. Josh kept saying "Eeyore, Eeyore".

At about the halfway point he got up and we put him in the theater seat - the darn thing started to fold up on him and eat him alive! So Jim and I had to hold the seat down for our little guy. When the movie started he had no interest in trying popcorn, but then when he was in his seat, he was a good little American consumer and mindlessly ate the popcorn while transfixed on the movie like he'd been doing it for years and years.

Then the wigglies set in and he just had to be on his feet. Even still he was mostly good. He just kept saying "Hi" to a girl (probably 11-years-old) who was in the row in front of us. "Hi. Hi. Hi." This kid has the talent to be cute and annoying at the same time.

And we made it through the entire movie! Luckily it was just over and hour long, so we certainly can't do anything longer yet. But I'm so glad we did it!
