Madagascar

Leah doesn't really watch much t.v., not because we have necessarily tried to stop her, just because she doesn't really get into it. She can't sit still long enough! Not sure if this is unusual or not, but it is Leah. She does have a few movies that she really enjoys, but she has them on mostly as background as she plays. She only sits if it is the first thing in the morning and she is still waking up. Anyhow, back to my point- one of her fav movies is Madagascar, so we thought she might like to see Madagascar 2. She has never been to the movie theater, but we thought maybe she would be able to sit long enough for the movie- she is almost 4!

Yesterday afternoon we went to the movie. She decided to skip taking a nap- maybe this should have been our first clue to avoid the theater, but we went anyway. So, it's the previews- nothing to scary- it's a kid's movie- but the preview for one movie in particular scared Leah. At this point, she started to ask to go home! Then Madagascar 2 started. She was excited and laughing and getting into the movie- for about 1/2 hour. Then, she started to fidget, ask to go home, sit on Dad's lap, sit on Mom's lap, stand in front of her seat, and cry. We did make it through the movie, but it might be awhile before we head to another one! She claimed she did not like the movie, but I will bet you that she will LOVE it when in comes out in video and she can watch it at home.

Today we met up with our great friend, Beth, for lunch and some shopping. We had a very nice time. Thanks for making the drive, Beth!

Have a great day, and, remember, the best day of the year is tomorrow!:)
