Up

We love watching movies together as a family. We have Netflix, so we have access to thousands of movies instantly... not to mention all of the DVD possibilities. So when we have extra time (which is usually at night anyway), we like to watch movies together. We make popcorn, snuggle on the couch under a blanket, and watch while we munch. Usually, Southern will watch for a few minutes (or until he is full of popcorn) and then run around, play with his toys, etc. during the rest of the movie.

Well, not with Up. He sat through the entire thing with his eyes glued to the screen. During the "bad" parts (when the villain was ahead), he would point at the TV and grunt. He knew they weren't being nice.

And when we paused it to take a potty break, he stayed on the couch gesturing to the TV so we knew he wasn't going to rest until the movie concluded. I don't know what it was about this movie that interested him so much, but it was so fun to share this experience with him.
