Movies!

This has been a summer of more movies than ever for us.  Jacob has been able to sit through a movie for a while, but in the last year he has really started to get into the plot.  This summer we saw The Smurfs, Cars 2 and Winnie the Pooh.  Jacob even saw Smurfs and Cars a second time with Ms. Becky.   I am not one that thinks kids should be plopped in front of a TV for hours every day while eating a bunch of junk (well, maybe it is okay some days!), but there is something magical about seeing a movie in the theatre with popcorn in one hand and candy in the other. I love sharing that magic with my little buddy!

Art is the ability to convey that we are not alone. When I sit down next to you in a movie theater, we get to share each other's point of view. We become part of a collective soul. That's the magic in the movies.
