A bit too much

So I take my kid to a movie.. he loves it.. doesn't stop talking about it for three weeks. I download a short story application for it on my Iphone. He watches that five minute synopsis every day for 2 more weeks. I think to myself, Great! I want to do something fun and special for him so why don't we go see that movie again. Only one little problem..the only place it's still in theatre is in 3D. Now we originally watched it in 2D so I say to myself..he's only four.. maybe it'll be too much for him in 3D. I reason with myself that he has already seen the movie so he knows it ends happy. I him and haw back and forth and finally make the decision to go for it.

You know how when some people watch a scary movie they cover their eyes but they peek between their fingers because they can't resist? That was my kid tonight. One minute he loved it.. the next he was terrified but in the end we managed to get through it and at the end he said it was GREAT! I guess count one to the good but I'm thinking it'll be awhile before we hit another 3D movie. The rest of the world may be ready for the 3D phenomenon but my four year old certainly isn't.

To the Zoo

So I take my kid to the zoo today. Why? because it's practically the first day where that yellow orb, that is generally found in the sky, was actually visible! That's right.. the sun was out for the first time in what seems like months. After touring around all the different animals I ask my son... What was your favorite part?

His Answer: The Map

That's right.. he liked the map we picked up at the front gate the best out of everything in the zoo (which I grant you was very fun to look at with all the cartoon animals on it) .. including the huge playground that he insisted on visiting three times. I think to myself, Gee, I could have saved myself the admission and just gotten him a map and then pretended to follow it somewhere! What an absolute card he is sometimes.

Had a great time though and got to play with my new camera so that makes me a happy girl.
