First Movie

Dear Caylee,
This weekend you saw your first movie in a theatre. I took you to see Disney/ Pixar’s “Ratatouile.” It’s a movie about a little mouse that wants to be a chef. I’m not sure it will be a classic, but it was pretty cute.

When we walked into the theatre, the lights were already down and the previews had already started. When the screen came into view for you, you came to a dead stop and your mouth was wide open. You were staring at the screen and started to look a little scared. I chose a seat close to the exit to be safe and you sat in my lap. It took you a little while to get comfortable, but after a while you sat in your booster seat and enjoyed the rest of the movie, and the popcorn, and rasinets, and apple juice! We went shopping afterward and you made sure to tell everyone that you talked to that you went to the movie and that you ate “corn” (pop-corn.)

You are still surprising us with all of the things that you know and say. Yesterday you asked me to play with you in your toy room while we were playing with your little people you got a very excited look on your face and said “wana pyea ye-shus mom?” (wanna play delicious) You have a large bin of pretend food that you pulled out and dumped on the floor. As we were playing you started saying “I cuuk it por you” (cook it for you.) You would stand at your pretend kitchen and put things in the oven. Pretend play is big fun for you know.

You are also very fascinated with looking at yourself in the mirror. You are starting to care a little more what you wear. You are asking to wear dresses and nightgowns at night-time.

It’s been about a year now since I started this blog for you. I was hoping that I would be able to keep it up a little better than a scrap-book. As it turns out you have quite few entries over the past year. I am going to put them all into a book for you to have when you are a big girl. I know it won’t have your school art-work and drawings etc… but I hope one day you will enjoy reading it.
