Meg's first movie!

We took Meaghan to see Toy Story 3 at the movie theater today to great success! We went to the earliest matinee there was, which was chock full of other moms with other little ones. We sat in the back row and she only got up once to shake out her sillies- and it was brief, maybe only 2 minutes. Other than that, she was entranced by the movie- she adores Buzz & Woody with all her little heart and was so thrilled to see them in a movie she hadn't seen yet. It was a good movie and at the end (SPOILER ALERT!) Andy gives his favorite toys away to a really nice kid and everyone ends up happy, but its a bittersweet happy that left me teary. Meg loved it and we found out that the theater shows previously run movies on Wednesday mornings at 10 am for $1.00 admission. That might be just the thing for us to get Meg used to going to the movies without spending an arm and a leg! But yay! We took a two year old to the movies and no one died, gave us dirty looks, crawled around on the sticky floor or was sucked into the folding stadium seating. Wahoo! (Yes, I know, it's the small victories of parenthood!)
