First Movie Theatre Experience. We finally took the girls to the movie theatre for the first time last weekend! The funniest part is that we went on Friday, but when we got there an employee in the parking lot said the theatre was temporarily closed (their system was down) and then she gave us free movie passes! The girls were pretty disappointed, but we just went the following day and enjoyed our free show. We saw Home, a movie about an alien and a young girl who become friends. We brought the girls' headphones to cover their ears if it got too loud, which turned out to be a great idea. The girls seemed to enjoy the movie, though they were both really tired by the end. They haven't been raving about their first theatre experience, but I'm guessing we'll be heading there every once in a while now!
Tiiiiiired
Late Bedtime. We're not sure if it's the late sunsets or Emily getting older (or both), but this girl has been going to bed much later than she used to! We still do our bedtime routine around 7pm, but now instead of falling asleep then, Emily comes back downstairs and hangs out with us. I've actually been loving this extra bonding time with Emily -- I feel like I don't get enough (or any) one-on-one time with her. In the evenings she likes looking at pictures on the blog, colouring, playing Legos, and watching me sew. Yesterday we played "copy draw", where she would draw something on the dry erase board and I would have to copy it.
A small part of me is sad that I have a lot less free time in the evenings, but the other part is cherishing these moments with Emily. I know they'll be gone before I know it! Emily is usually in bed around 9-9:30pm, which leaves me with about an hour for reading, blogging, or hanging out with Steve. Speaking of which, good night!
