Take Me to the Movies

It was a sad day when my brother Carl stopped working at the movie theaters years ago. It put a stop to my free movie days. And I love going to the movies. So much so that I still continued going to the movies despite the soaring price of a ticket.

I knew that once Grace was born, my movie going days were over. At least for a little while. But because Uncle Josh desperately wanted to go see the new Harry Potter flick, I risked taking a baby to the theater. I was so nervous, especially since the movie is almost three hours long. I am the kind of movie go-er that gets annoyed at any kind of disruption to my movie experience. I certainly didn't want to BE the disruption if Grace decided she was not into Harry Potter.

I sat next to the exit, ready to bolt at any sign of fussiness. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. When she wasn't sleeping, she was fascinated with the movie. She even laughed at the appropriate times! Maybe my girl will be a movie lover like her mama.

Sorry, Daddy, this was the only picture that was taken today. I forgot to bring the camera to the movie theaters to document Grace's first movie experience.

That picture got me so tickled. She is absolutely adorable. And a little ham, too. I think Miss Grace might like the camera as much as she likes the movies.
