Avatar

We went to blockbuster last week to try to find a used copy of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (I think it was last Thursday), and they had Avatar on. I'm not joking when I say that Skylar stopped dead in his tracks and watched for an easy 10 minutes while I was looking for the other movie. He hardly moved a muscle. When it was time to check out he told me: "mommy, my want that one!" I just told him okay and that we'd get it in a few days when it comes out. Then on Sunday we were at target and he saw a poster for it and told me again: "mommy, that one!" "Almost baby..." Was my reply, I thought he was going to mutiny when I didn't find a copy at that instant. Well I picked up a copy during lunch today and showed it to him when I picked him up from school. He was stoked! He also insisted that he hold it, "not mommy's!" So I gave it to him. We didn't go straight home though, we got some sushi, and were planning on meeting my mom in Tucson when her flight got in but she got delayed. I was originally going to bring his portable to let him watch it on the way up. Instead we came home, got him bathed, and then I broke it out again.



He actually has only said two things to me since the movie started: "dragons! look mommy, dragons!" and "whoa! look at that!" I love my little guy. HOw could you not with a face like his?
