Up, Up, and Away

Tonight we took Ellie over to our neighbors and went out on an Ava Date. It's like going back to the days when it was just Doni, Ava, and I. Ava's been handling having to share our attention amazingly well, but we thought we'd spend a little time just on her.

We took her out to see the movie Up (or as she refers to it, "Balloon Movie"). We got some concessions and she looked ridiculous with both arms wrapped around the large tub of popcorn as we walked to out theater. On top of that, she was overly concerned about the kernels that were falling on the floor, despite the fact that she would spill more every time she looked at the one or two she had just dropped.

Ava really gets into movies. One of the previews was for a movie called Shorts. At the end of the preview the main character answers a phone (that is implanted in his head). Ava thought this was hilarious and said, "Hahaha, He said, 'Heh-row".

Another preview she liked was for the remake of the movie Fame. At the end of this one the preview trails off with a song saying "remember... remember...". Ava continued the mantra well past the end of the trailer.

It was a pretty good movie with a lot of jokes that were primarily for adults without being adult-content. As the movie wrapped up the music began to crescendo and the picture zoomed out. As she is prone to do at times like this, she yelled out, "IT'S OVER!" She must have repeated this literally 20 times over the next two minutes. That's my daughter... the credits-spotting queen.
