Monsters University

We took Mikaela to her first movie theater.  Mikaela has always had an aversion to loud noises, so we knew a movie theater could be a harrowing experience.  So... we waited a long time to take her, chose a movie that was at a dollar theater (in case it was a total bust, we weren't out much money), and let her have lots of popcorn.  We took her Minnie Mouse headphones that she wore during the movie to help soften the sound.  I think this is more psychological than anything, but it gives her comfort.  She climbed in my lap for a later, more scary scene from the movie, but was able to finish watching the movie in my arms.  Overall, it was a great experience and she really enjoyed it.  Mike and I had a great time taking her.

Technology Jargon

How the jargon has changed:  I still say I will "tape" things and watch videos.  Mikaela corrected me today saying we were watching DVDs.
