Browdys at the cinema

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

The other day marked a first for the family: All four of us went to a movie. In the past, Avery has been resistant to going to the theater, but she was totally game this time around. (When we asked her which movie she wanted to see, she answered, “The popcorn one.”)

Both girls were totally into the movie (a showing of old-school Cinderella) and the Icee we bought them, and when I later asked Avery about her favorite part, she told me, “All if it.”

“He didn’t make good choices”

Thursday, February 21st, 2013

I read Avery a new book the other night, and afterwards I asked her what she thought of it. The story involved a woman inviting a lonely pig over to her house for dinner, and I was hoping Avery would have gotten the message about the importance of reaching out and being kind to others. She was obviously more affected by the last page (during which the pig messily ate and caused food to fly everywhere) and told me in a serious voice, “He didn’t make good choices. He was too messy.”
