Today Gabriella had her first theater experience. We thought she'd enjoy the new movie "Monsters vs. Aliens" as Gabby loves monsters. One of her favorite movies is "Monsters, Inc." We are not sure where the interest comes from. We noticed it around Christmas when she'd watched "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and loved the Abominable Snowman. At the theater today, she did a great job sitting through the movie. Only twice did we have to get up with her to walk around but they were short breaks. Most of the time she was enthralled with the movie, and asked us "Monsters coming back?" or would say "Monsters are scary." This was all expressed with excitement in her voice. The movie was a hit!
This is Gabby in her theater seat just after we arrived. The previews had just started so it was hard to focus the camera. She didn't last long in her own seat because she is too light, so for the first 45 minutes of the movie (until her first break) she sat on David's lap. She held her movie ticket in her one hand and ate popcorn with the other. It was so cute!
After the movie, Gabby caught wind of the stuffed animals inside the glass. She of course asked David to get her one so he gave it a try. A local restaurant has this game and David has managed to win Gabby a stuffed animal nearly every time.
Today, on his second attempt, he was able to grab an octopus. Gabby loved it! David is 4 for 5 at this game. Gabby now expects David to win every time. The pressure is beginning to mount for David!
