Don't let the title of this post fool you. Tom has watched a LOT of movies. His favorite, by far, is Cars. So we figured the best movie to take him to for his first movie THEATER experience was Cars 2.
The picture above does not really capture how excited Tom (and
Francie) was to see Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater on a big screen. We had been using this trip as incentive all Summer. "Tom, be a good boy and stay in your bed, and we will take you to see Cars 2 at the movie theater". That kind of stuff was said since we first saw the preview for Cars 2 on
TV. So he was fired up to finally get to go to a theater and eat popcorn (and maybe a little candy).
The movie was pretty good, but hard for the kids to follow. A lot of spy stuff and some
secretly adult humor. (The girl spy's name was Holly
Shiftswell, very James Bond/Austin Powers). Like most sequels, the first movie was better, in my opinion. But Tom and
Francie seemed to like being at the movies and they both said they want to go back again. I'll take that as a good sign.

Tom's Room at closing.
Tom's room now. This is a different wall, but definitely the feature we are most happy about. Emily found this "wallpaper map" on National Geographic's website. Tom picked out his own wall color, which was called "Newport". Emily and I were happy to bring some of our old Kentucky-ness with us.
