toy story

The Mayor doesn't watch a lot of movies...he has his two favorites: "Cars" and "Toy Story" (excluding everything Thomas the Train). So when we had the chance to go see "Disney on Ice: Toy Story 3" we jumped at the chance! D worked from home and watched Love Bug so The Mayor and I could enjoy the morning together.

There was absolutely no traffic in Atlanta today and we were downtown in 30 minutes. We got there almost an hour before the show started so we spent that time walking around the arena and looking at all the Toy Story paraphernalia. See where I'm going with this? I have S-U-C-K-E-R written on my forehead. We rarely give into The Mayor's request for a new toy when we are at the store because we are bound and determined not to raise a spoiled child who expects something every time we are out...but today all rules were thrown out the window. I spent $20 on a Buzz Lightyear that spun around with lights on the end of his wings and $12 on a Rex the Dinosaur. He asked, he received. Luckily this is rare so he didn't know to ask for the whole kit and caboodle.

The Mayor was so interested in the first half...the second half, not so much. The second half really had to do with the Toy Story 3 movie (which he has never seen) and it had a lot of characters that he didn't know. So it lost his interest. And asking an almost 3 year old to sit through an hour and a half ice show with a 10 minute intermission is a lot. But he did great today. When he got bored, he asked to play with his light-up Buzz toy and kept saying "to inrinity and berond"...(he was trying to say "to infinity and beyond" - which is what Buzz Lightyear says in the movie).

Now we are home and he is napping. I love days like this...
