He willingly posed with this sign picturing "the little mad guy."
What is up with this new picture face? Oh well. We had a little popcorn.
Luke was really excited about the whole experience. He covered his ears for all the previews and got a little scared. (He also got scared in a school assembly on Friday, I think due to noise, and had to leave. That hasn't happened in a long time.) But he settled comfortably into his seat for our feature presentation, no hands on ears.
He laughed a lot at the silly comedy in the movie. He seemed to follow the basics of the storyline. Before we decided to go, I made sure the ending was cheery.
But as the credits rolled he burst into tears. I don't know if the ending was emotional for him and the big sensory experience made him a little more sensitive, or maybe he's been googling Shakespeare and was upset at the deviation from the original script. (Sorry for the spoilers but I'm guessing you might have guessed it's a loose interpretation.)
But he quickly calmed down and now says the movie was great. He says it's maybe not as good as Toy Story 3 and Tangled (his other two theater experiences), but still great.
And in the last few days Luke has decided he loves--seriously loves--Scooby Doo. Definitely beats the Hannah Montana phase.
After dinner last night, he got really quite while watching a Scooby DVD. We went to check and this is what we found . . .
Scooby was still playing . . . in French. This morning I asked why he set the language to French and he said, "I love French. It's kind of like Spanish." Of course.

Amy, he's precious. Jackson has a difficult time with loud noises and sensory overload too. I'm glad Luke handled it well. It looks like he had a fun time!
What IS IT with Scooby Doo lately? Both my boys are suddenly, mysteriously into it. And another friend was just telling me today her first grader is suddenly into it. Did I miss something?
