By George!

I forgot to mention this. A couple weekends ago - we took Olivia to her first big screen movie! She got to see Curious George in all his cinematic wonder.
Curious George has long been the bedtime reading of choice for Olivia, so when we saw that there was going to be an animated movie, we really wanted to take her. We were worried that she was too young, or wouldn't want to sit for the whole movie, but we should not have feared. She is, after all, our daughter. A visit to the bathroom right before and one right after was more than enough. Sharing a hotdog and french fries with daddy for lunch and having a handful of m&ms as her movie treat, the girl sat enraptured with the little monkey. There was a teary moment involving animal control (animated, that is!), but some reassuring words later and a rescue by the man with the yellow hat and we were good to go.
It was nice to be at the movies with her, and it was even better that every adult in the audience was there with a child, so when there were breakouts of conversation or spontaneous trips out of the theatre and then back in, no one minded at all...
And as an added bonus, we now have a new music choice to mix in with Raffi and The Great Dinosaur Mystery, Jack Johnson and friends doing The Curious George soundtrack - it's a nice option to have!
Take care,
