the moment they have been waiting for

We have been watching this:


every day for probably the last two months. After the first time we watched it, Henry ran to get his shoes and said, "Let's go!" After some discussion about the passage of time, the boys settled on dreaming about, talking about, and planning for our trip to the movies. And humming the soundtrack at varying decibels. And building Lego airplanes. And flying around the house. And learning about cropdusters, and scanning the skies for one when we were in Shaunavon. And making so many airplane noises that now Annie can mimic them while holding up little toy cars in the air. And finally - FINALLY - after all their preparations and dreaming and playing and imaging... today was the day. I think it lived up to their expectations? I also think Henry was scared out of his pants by a 3D movie on a giant screen that blared sound at him after having only ever watched our tiny tv... but other than that... they liked it. They giggled a lot, so that's good.

Maybe now we can stop watching the trailer.
