The Lion King

I took a risk tonight. I definitely did. I took BOTH of the children to see a movie. Alone. And it was a 3D movie: The Lion King. It really could've gone either way, but what the heck? I needed to get out of the house. It was and still is one of my most favorite movies, and neither of my kids had seen it. Jaggar has never even been inside a movie theater. We got our tickets, glasses and popcorn and headed inside as soon as it was beginning. I am more than pleased to say that Jaggar did great. He wore the glasses for about the first 15 minutes. He did periodically throughout the movie shout, "LION KING!" or "SIMBA!" but it was great. He'd get up and dance. He ate his popcorn. He ate popcorn off the floor. He put the glasses on his head, in his cup holder, and then eventually dropped them in the floor where I could not find them until the movie was over. He didn't really want them until the end, and then he decided he needed them. "Where my gasses go?" So he snatched Sage's off of her face. She cried. I took them back from Jaggar and gave them back to Sage. He would climb into the seat next to me and back to my lap again. He decided he needed his shoes off. He really did well though, and I don't regret taking him at all. I still knew every word and cried in the same scenes. Great movie. Great memory.

Yep, he generally wears his sunglasses upside down, so the 3D ones were no exception. This was Sage's first 3D movie where she actually wore the glasses. It's been years since we gave her another shot at them, so she was just fine.

You know I had to get this. It's Jaggar's first movie!
