Cars 2

Daddy has been working A LOT. We try to eat dinner together on a night when Daddy is home but this week Daddy has been very busy with interviews for the new company. Since Daddy worked all day on Saturday, we declared Sunday, August 7 as "Family Day".

It was a rainy, gloomy summer day so we decided it would be fun to take Mikey to his first movie in the theater. He LOVES his Cars DVD so we chose to see Cars 2. We picked the 10:55 show (the only showing of Cars 2 that day). Good thing we got there early because a lot of other people had the same idea---the movie was sold out! Because it was a morning showtime and that Mikey was under 3, he was FREE (they assumed that he would sit on our lap)!

We walked into the theater and chose our seats. Mikey insisted on having his own seat. The only difficult part was that Daddy had to hold Mikeys seat down with his legs since he was too light! We offered him the booster seat (which we thought would weight the seat down---but it was made of plastic) but he insisted on sitting by himself.








It felt like one of my first movie experiences with Michael---Mikey held my hand throughout the movie. (Have I mentioned how much I love this cuddly kid?!?!?)

Mikey sat for the WHOLE movie. He was in awe. There was a 5 minute cartoon sketch with the Toy Story characters (Mikey's other favorite Disney movie) and then the Cars movie began. He thought he was in heaven. He pointed out every "Car!", "Truck!", and "Roller!" that he saw on the screen. Mikey loved every minute.

And when the movie was over he kept saying "More Cars! More cars! More cars!"

He proved me wrong. I thought he was too young to go to the movies. That night we called both sets of grandparents and Mikey proudly told all of them "I saw the movie cars".
