Today we took Sophie to see her first movie. We went to see a documentary called Babies. If you haven’t heard about this movie, it is about 4 babies growing up in different parts of the world. Sophie is quite a fan of looking at pictures of mommy, daddy, JJ and Tegel, so a documentary seemed ideal. Once when we tried to watch a little bit of a movie at home, she found it quite scary (Elmo in Grouchland). That only lasted for about two minutes before she shut the screen on the computer to make it turn off. Oddly, the PG rating for Babies was much less violent than Elmo in Grouchland that was rated G.
Since the movie was right at Sophie’s naptime, we figured she might just fall asleep. She did nothing of the sort. She loved every minute of it—except for a really scary movie that they showed previews for before Babies—grrrr, what where they thinking? Throughout the movie, she was the quietest and calmest she’s been since I can remember. The showing we went to was prepared for parents with children so there were also a lot of babies in the theater—sort of an extra bonus.
My favorite part of the movie: when the San Francisco baby tries to walk out on the Mother Earth mommy and baby class. Constructed "enrichment" just isn't the same as the real thing. But don't tell Sophie that, we're going to our toddler class on tuesday ;-)
