Cars 2

To say that Caleb loves the movie Cars, is a serious understatement. Obsessed might even not be quite the word to describe his love for this movie. Michael and I have watched this movie hundreds of times, and have basically memorized it, know all of the cars names, and can tell you what is going to happen before it happens. We know the entire soundtrack, and we listen to Rascal Flats, Life is a Highway all the time. We have all of the cars, and we play with them daily. We have Cars jammies. We have Cars beach towels. We have Cars socks. We have Cars everything. So, when we saw, back in the winter, that Cars 2 was coming out, we knew that this would be the perfect first movie for Caleb. Everytime a commercial would come on TV Caleb would get so excited, and tell whoever was around that he was going to the store to see that movie soon. As the opening day got closer and closer, Caleb got more and more excited. It became a family event, and today was finally THE DAY. The day Caleb had been waiting for, for what seemed like an eternity. And, to make what he thought was heaven on Earth even better, Grandmommy, Grandpa, Uncle Craig, Aunt Kim, Sara, Davis, mommy, AND daddy all came too (the adults wanted to see it too, and this was a great excuse to go!). He was so excited he could barely stand it. From the picture, you can see that his little body was about to explode with excitement! :)

We got into the theater, and it wasn't what Caleb thought it would be. The TV (as he called it) was "berry big and berry wowed" (very loud and very loud). He sat in daddy's lap, ringing his hands. He was a little nervous. Then, well, then, he got MAD. He wanted to know where Cars 2 was, and why the movie wasn't on. The it started....what we have been waiting months for...CARS 2!!!!!

Caleb did a great job...he ate the candy we bought for him (M&M's) AND the candy we bought for daddy (Sour Patch Kids). About half way through the movie he started switching laps. He sat with daddy. He sat with mommy. He say by himself. He sat with Davis. He sat with Uncle Craig. He eventually ended up back with Daddy, and with about 5 minutes left he passed out....
Poor baby was wiped out...all the excitement finally got to him, and he just couldn't handle it. Once we got home, and he woke up, he kept saying how much he loved the movie and telling us thank you for taking him. It was such an amazing time and such a wonderful memory with our little man!!!!
