Happy Feet Over?

We took Hannah out for a family date night. The first thing Hannah said when she woke up Friday morning was "let's go see Happy Feet mommy!" So, after all day of hearing about Happy feet, we finally headed out for our ate.

We went to Johnny Rockets for dinner (which we won't go to again) oh, my expensive and greasy and not that good. But Hannah had fun, hugging her dad the whole time and eating all the onion rings. Then we went to go and see Happy Feet. The first mistake was that it was on IMAX, so it was bigger than life and louder than anything. She was so excited when the movie started and sat in her seat. But then the preview for Night in the Museum started and she wasn't too sure. But once the penguins came on, things got better (a little).

She is such a sensitive girl. Anytime the penguins were sad, she was really sad and then the part with the scary seal trying to kill the penguins came on and she lost it. She was crying and so scared, but had to watch, she wouldn't turn her eyes from it, so eventually I had to take her out and love her and help her through it. It was so sad and it made us realize she isn't ready for movies yet. After that, all she said throughout the movie was "the penguins done?" She was ready for the penguins to be done! She still watched, but was ready to leave as soon as possible. And she sat on our laps the entire time.

When the movie was over, she told us how much she liked it and all about the penguins. So, at least she thinks she liked it. So, lessons learned this evening - 1) don't eat at Johnny Rockets 2) our 2 1/2 old is not ready for movies or the IMAX 3) don't spray for ants in your house when you are married to a man like my husband.... (this is a whole other story!)
