Today, Hubs took E to her first movie in an IMAX Theater. It was her first experience to watch a movie in a theater and we were so excited to introduce her into "going to the movies". I wanted to go in to song and dance and do that bit from the musical movie "Annie". The one where they are going to take Annie to the movies and she's never been. "let's go to the movies... lets go see the stars"
E was really excited but when i saw hubs come home with a look of exhaustion on his face. I thought, Oh, she wasn't ready. Hubs said that when they turned down the lights, she screams," Daddy, it's dark in here!" Hubs had to keep shhhing her. After an hour and there was about 1/2 hour left of the movie, she turned to her daddy and said," Daddy, let's go home!" When she got home, she was so proud of herself for going but I don't think she loved it. I guess, she's still young. We'll try again in June when she turns four.

We celebrated my MIL's birthday and at the party, we found out that my niece has thyroid cancer. Please pray for her that she'll make a fully recovery and that her spirit won't be broken. The prognosis seems excellent but to go through something like that at her age, it is just so sad.
My little J had her first splinter on her hand. It's just the worst. I wish that there was a special first aid kit geared to take out splinters from little children. I had to sterilize a needle and tweezers but I just wished there was some easier way. It broke my heart. There is something so special about colorful band-aids. Once I put anelmo band-aid on her boo boo, she was happy as can be. Thanks BAND_AID for making great baidaids for little kids.

Poor little J! I hope she's all healed from her boo boo! Splinters can be pretty painful.

That's too bad E's first movie experience wasn't the best. In time she'll enjoy it. At least though you got a nice break, right?! :)

I'll pray for your niece....

Sorry about your niece- so scary! But, yes, it's amazing how easily kids can calm down w/ a new "toy" after crying hysterically.
