On Sunday, Ava attended her very first movie at the theater. I had been patiently waiting for a princess-themed movie to be released, but none were forthcoming. Then Ava herself saw a preview for the new Hannah Montana movie and announced she planned to see it. She has recently started watching the TV show, and although it's not her favorite, she enjoys the music and dancing that always seems to surround good 'ol Hannah. So we decided it was time to venture forth to Jasper 8 Cinemas for her first movie experience.
How did it go? I guess you could say she got the best of both worlds! (Ok, cheesy joke, I admit it.)
Anyway, she was able to sit through and appreciate the entire movie. Plus consume popcorn, candy, and a Sprite. Yes, I relented and let her go wild. Plus she danced at her seat, sang along a bit to the songs, and even laughed at some jokes! When did this baby grow up on me? In all honesty, she couldn't have behaved better and had a wonderful time. So she was definitely overdue to experience the movies. My mom went with us and agreed that it was a great experience for her. And although Erik didn't attend, his presence was known as we were leaving the theater and Ava decided she simply had to play some arcade games. In fact, I think my favorite memory of the entire trip was seeing my petite three-year-old poised on a large motorcycle, zooming back and forth as she actually raced on the screen. I guess you had to be there, but it was hilarious.
Fun times!
