Movies!

We took Avery to the movies a couple of weeks ago to see Dr. Seuss' The Lorax. I had heard it was a good movie to start with because of the animation and singing, so I thought we would be good. Wrong. We went right after naptime to avoid falling asleep or grumpiness, but instead we got hyperactive Avery and ended up leaving 45 minutes into the movie.

I think she will eventually like the movies because she seemed interested in the concept, but too antsy to appreciate it. We did get some cute pictures when she was sitting still though.
