Though her sister had favorite shows by the age of two, Avery – much to my surprise and delight -\u00c2\u00a0has mostly been\u00c2\u00a0uninterested in television and movies. Avery will jump into our bed to watch a show with Zoe at bedtime each night, but after a few minutes she usually gets bored and comes out of the room to see\u00c2\u00a0what Q and I\u00c2\u00a0are doing.<\/p>\n
The exception, though, is Dolphin Tale<\/a>. Q first screened the movie for the girls a month or two ago – and they loved it. The plot involves older kids and adults (not a 3-year-old in sight), and the movie includes a few sad\/potentially scary scenes, but these things are no concern for Avery. She was captivated from the first viewing, and she now\u00c2\u00a0frequently mentions the movie’s (real-life) star, Winter<\/a>, and asks to watch the\u00c2\u00a0movie.<\/p>\n Avery’s love for Winter’s story leaves me with two thoughts: We need to bring\u00c2\u00a0the movie on our next flight (I can’t think of anything else that holds her interest for this long), and it may be time to think about a trip to Sea World!<\/p>\n -M<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Though her sister had favorite shows by the age of two, Avery – much to my surprise and delight -\u00c2\u00a0has mostly been\u00c2\u00a0uninterested in television and movies.
