Going to the Movies

On Monday we took Jackson to the movie theater for the first time. Jackson loves the Toy Story movies so we knew that going to see Toy Story 3 would be a great treat. For the past month the coming attractions to the movie have been on TV. Every time they come on Jackson tells us that he didn't remember those parts from the other movies. He thought if it was a new movie why didn't we have it at our house. We explained that it was a new movie at the movie theater, but he just didn't have a concept of what that meant. We decided not to bring Aubrin with us. She enjoys watching movies, but while busy doing other things. She likes pushing her babies around or doing a puzzle and every so often looking up at the TV to see whats going on. So we thought we should wait a bit longer for her first movie. For Jackson's birthday our friend Michele gave him a Toy Story t-shirt. He was excited to wear it. Once we got to the movies Jackson walked up to the ticket window and said, "I'm here to see Buzz and Woody. It's my first time here.!" It was priceless.

We got popcorn and in we went. When the lights went down and the movie started, Jackson couldn't help but smile. He was so excited. Jackson ate his popcorn and asked Todd if he could go "Make him some more." Jackson also had to go to the bathroom during the movie and didn't understand why we couldn't pause it while he was gone. He sat through the movie like a champ and loved it. On the way home he talked about his favorite parts and asked his famous question he always asks, "Next time, can we please bring Aubrin?"
