after church we stuck around for hot dogs and popcorn for movie night. tonight's feature was horton hears a who. at first mason was great sitting, eating his hot dog and watching the movie. i had actually never seen him sit so still for so long (and be awake). after that he got to wandering around and climbing into every chair that he saw - his dream.at some point some pre-teen girls started playing a game of running up and down the aisle on the side with him. i think that this was a great help to daddy while madelyn and i watched the movie. at some point madelyn declared that she was tired and wanted to go home (it was only 7:10pm). the end of the movie got a little too scary for her. she was very upset by the monkeys poking horton with sticks - and rightfully so. we left as soon as all the other animals heard the whos on the spec.
madelyn's mood perked right up when she was given a goodie bag on her way out with candy, a green pencil with a pink pom-pom glued on top (a la a horton hears a who clover), and a devotional book. she did ask about the monkeys poking horton with a stick the whole ride home. we didn't have much in the way of a satisfying answer for her - they thought that he was a liar and weren't being nice.
before church madelyn drew "the new baby on her hand" because she "loves the new baby very much" and then proceeded to hug and kiss my belly (aka the new baby). how sweet is that? love.
