Tangled

On Christmas Eve, Julia went to her first movie at a theater. We went to a 9:40am showing of the new Disney princess movie, "Tangled." We were not sure how she would do in the theater, since she can't sit still for a 30 minute cartoon. However, it WAS a PRINCESS movie and we knew that had some power of keeping her attention.

She ended up loving the movie. Since she was feeling a little wiggly, she spent the time crawling from papa's lap to her booster seat and to my lap. However, she was watching the movie. When scary parts came, she snuggled up on papa's lap. One boring part came and she decided to get down from her seat. She accidentally hit her mouth on the seat in front of her and started to cry. I took her down the theater's stairs and she gathered herself. We watched the movie's ending from there.

When we were leaving the theater, she began to cry, saying, "more princess movie, more princess movie..." She was so upset, I had to take her to the ladies room to calm her down. However, for the first time, nothing I said or did helped. She was very upset the movie was over and felt very strongly about it. For the first time, mommy couldn't help. It took about 10 minutes and she was able to calm down, knowing we would watch it again someday. After that, we all three stopped in one of those little picture booths for shots to remember the day by.

She just loved the movie so much. I loved it too and so did papa. What a great first movie experience. This will be a treasured memory for us.
