When we first started potty training and Carson earned his first "special prize", he (without hesitation) picked some Disney Planes figurines off the shelf at Target even though neither one of us knew there was a new movie. This was over a month before the movie was suppose to come out, but as soon as he saw the trailer (which we looked up on the computer), he was hooked! We had bought a couple books as other potty training "special prizes", so he was totally into it. Every time the commercial came on TV, he would get so excited and yell out "we're going to go see that Dusty movie!"
We took off a little early last Friday to give this whole movie thing a shot. If you know Carson, you know he does not sit still for long, so we went into this experience expecting to not make it through the whole movie.
He was SO excited!
Had to have popcorn and a Sprite (and Sour Patch Kids for Mommy)...
He's a big kid and could barely hold the seat down with his body weight. It kept 'eating' him. He pretty much sat in my lap most of the time or jumped up and down in front of his chair. Luckily the theater wasn't crowded and he's not tall enough to block anyone's view, so we just let him stand there and jump versus fighting a lost fight to keep him in his chair.
There were two trips to the potty. One was successful, one was just because he needed to be able to run around for a few minutes. Fine with me.
He pretty much knew the entire plot going into the movie because we have a couple Planes books. He narrated the whole thing and yelled out each new character as they made their debut in the movie. I thought it was pretty cute.
Mommy and Daddy were ready for the movie to be over, but he wasn't. He wanted to watch it again. Yep, Wannie and Papi or Gigi and Pops can do that. :-)
We all survived!
He seriously did start crying in the car because he wanted to go watch "the Dusty movie" again. I have to say, by VERY active 3-year old boy standards, he did really good. I think he enjoyed the previews just as much as the movie. There were some cute ones! What's sad is that this was the first movie in probably 5 years (at least) that I had been to. We just don't go to movies. We're Netflix people. Well, Andrew prefers Netflix over going to the movies. :-)
