Goober and the movies...

I took Lily to see Cars 2 last night (she's recently developed a random fascination for all things Lightening McQueen). Since Daddy went fishing last night, I figured it would be a fun girls night. It was definitely a mini adventure. To start off with, she isn't heavy enough to hold the seat down. So she spent most of the movie folded in half, with her legs up by her ears. She didn't seem to mind. In fact, she thought it was kind of funny. I really wish I could have taken a picture, because it was hilarious.

She made it about halfway through the movie before needing a potty break. Can I just say I am so stinking glad that she is 99.9% potty trained?? It makes my life so much easier. Anyway, back to the movie. We go potty, come back and suddenly she's ready to go. She kept telling me "Ok, it's over. Let's go home." This happened off and on the rest of the movie. And she also requested to go to the bathroom 4 more times. I refused, because she really just wanted to play in the arcade area of the movie theater.

I finally got her to pay attention to the movie, after she needed to sit on my lap. And drink all my soda. And eat her candy. And eat more popcorn. Throughout this time, she dropped no less than 3 M&M's on the floor (which she then tried to find-ew), the rest of my soda and over half a tub full of popcorn (which she tried to clean up-again, ew).  But she was having fun and we were sitting all alone so no one was being disturbed. I highly recommend going to see a later movie-there are less people in the theater, which means fewer people to be disturbed by kiddie antics. I will say this, Lily was the only little girl in the theater. The theater was semi filled with teenagers, adults and families with little boys. She definitely doesn't fit any stereotype's about little girls, that's for sure! lol

She did love the soundtrack and couldn't help but boogie down every time a song came on. And she loved watching the movie. I think she wished Daddy had come with us, because she was very concerned about coming home to see him. All in all, it was a great time. And she loved seeing Lightening McQueen.
