Emma's Big Weekend

Granted Emma is only 2, so almost any weekend could be considered a "big weekend" for her because there is some kind of "adventure," but this past weekend really was BIG. For starters, the "Binky Fairy" came to our house Friday night. We'd been telling Emma this was going to happen, so it wasn't a surprise. Emma willingly left one of her pacifiers out for the Binky Fairy and took the other to bed with her Friday night. When she got up Saturday morning, both pacifiers were gone and in there place were 2 presents (Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer on DVD and an Apron/pot holder set). She is slowly adjusting to life without the "binky" and is doing pretty well. She went down for today's nap pretty easily.
Sunday was another big adventure - Emma got to go see her first movie in a theater. Dave had 8 free tickets to Hollywood Blvd for his birthday, so we went to see Mega Mind with Dave's parents, his sister, and her family. We didn't realize the movie was in 3D, so that added tot he adventure a little bit. Emma didn't like the glasses, but she did a pretty good job watching the movie. I think that fact that Hollywood Blvd serves drinks and food at your seat during the movie helped lessen the distraction of a 2 year old who doesn't really like to sit still. The next time a kid friendly movie comes out, we'll try again and see how Emma does.
