Asher goes to the movies!

Deenesh has been wanting to take Asher to the movies since Asher was about, uh, 1 year's old.  

But I never thought he was quite ready to sit through a full-length movie.

But then, well, then the newest Muppet movie came out.  The Muppets!  And, well, it seemed so...magical! that that could be his first movie.  I mean, given the teensy little age difference between Deenesh and me, there aren't a whole lot of entertainment things that span both of our childhoods - but the muppets are one of them.  And Asher's 3.5 so we figured, he could probably do it.  Other kids have done it even younger.  

So, let it be known.  Asher has officially been to his first movie!!  Eeek!  Yay!

Look!  Giving his ticket!  

Look!  Look!  See the sign?  It says Muppets!
Look!  Popcorn!

Asher did great the first hour, and then started to say "I'm tired.  Let's go home."  By that time Deenesh and I were thoroughly swept up in the magic that is the Muppets so I frantically shoved my cell phone at him, crossed my fingers that he wouldn't make any calls to Jamaica, and continued my viewing.

The eyes of a crazy lady. 

The face of two people that have had a whole world returned to them -
the possibility of movie viewing!  And one kid falling asleep.  

He really did do a great job.  He got a little restless, but overall he seemed to enjoy it and since then he has mentioned it a couple of times.

Yay!  The credits!  Now I can play!

 Hmmm...so Star Wars next?
