First Movie

Jake was off work today because of his teeth (see post below) and I wanted toDO something. No matter the reason, whenever Jake doesn't have to work, I feel like we have to do something special. Today, some of our favorite family activities, like swimming, were definitely out because he was in so much pain, even doped up on pain killers. So we took Dallin to a movie at the theater for the first time! We saw Alvin and the Chipmunks.

It wasn't my favorite movie. Jake and I both agreed that we enjoy the Pixar animated movies better- they have better acting, and funny lines even adults appreciate. But Dallin seemed to enjoy it. He loved the music and the dancing, and of course, popcorn (mama's boy!). He didn't sit down in his chair the whole time, but he didn't wander up and down the stairs or ask to leave half way through, as I'd secretly feared. He didn't quite understand being quiet in the theater, but it was pretty much empty, and who cares if kids talk in a kids' show? At least now we know we can enjoy a movie as a family activity! Don't you think Jake looks a little like Jason Lee??
