Gavin's Big Day

Gavin got to go to his first movie tonight. We went as a family to see "Toy Story 3". He was so excited to go, though I don't know if he had any idea what he was going to do. Luckily we went to a showing that was NOT in 3-D, so none of those annoying 3-D glasses to wear. There were lots of kids in the theatre, so even Gavin's loud exclamations during the previews "horses!", "castle! pretty castle, mama" (seeing the Disney Castle), "its dark!". Gavin has not yet mastered the whisper and is in fact quite loud, but so are movie soundtracks, so no biggie. Once the movie started he was mesmerized. He sat so still and quiet, it was so cute. He did ask for some popcorn at the beginning of the movie, but settled for fruit snacks and lost his ticket he was so proud of, but again was happy with my ticket. We were in the theater for about 2 hours and he never once got out of his seat. I think Jacob was 4 before he went to his first movie, so we were very impressed with our 2.5 year old. As he left the theater he told the girls working at the theater that he had just seen a movie and showed them his ticket. It was just so fun to watch his excitement and his good behavior.

Then to top off his awesome evening, he pottied on the potty before bed tonight. Another first. I clapped and cheered with hopes of what is to come, hopefully sooner rather than later.

I'll update soon on our June happenings - including a drama camp performance clip:)
