The Evil Doctor Pork-chop

Xander had trouble holding still at the theater so he's a bit blurry in the photo

Xander went to his first movie yesterday. If you've been around him in the past few months then you can probably already guess which one he went to see -- Toy Story 3. He made it through OK, there were only a couple of spots where Lisa had to convince him that they should stay through the whole movie. Me and Quinn were hanging out at home I was half expecting to get a call at any moment from Lisa saying that he had gotten scared and they were on they're way home. But he held his ground -- from Lisa's lap -- and got through the whole movie.

As you can probably guess, he liked it a lot. So much so that when they were walking home Xander told Lisa that we wanted to go see it the next day with me. He then declared it again this morning and, since he agreed to be good all day, I took him. Kent also wanted to see it so he tagged along. He was brave -- talking about Xander now. not Kent -- and though he watched all but the first ten minutes of the movie from my lap he didn't once say that he wanted to leave. I'm just wondering how many more times he's going to try to get people to take him while the movie is in the theaters. And in case you're wondering, the movie is great; even without a four year old sitting in your lap.
