Okay, for many months I have hoped for a time when my boys would be interested in movies. Any attempt to watch a movie has been short due to attention span, too much of a plot to follow, or too scary (Jungle Book and Lion King fell into this category). I never understood how they can watch cartoons on Saturday morning for 2-3 hours, but their attention span faded 20 minutes into a movie.
Well, the day has come that they have watched a full length movie from beginning to end! Yeah - now I can start thinking about family movie nights, taking them to the movie theatre, and let's not forgot the possible 2 hour break to get other things done. The movie of choice - Tinkerbell! They have watched and requested this movie at least 4-5 times in the last 2 weeks. I did manage to sneak in Madagascar and Polar Express, but Tinkerbell is the #1 choice and the only one that they actually sit for without interruptions.
At a Christmas dinner, a friend of mine was telling us about how her 4 year old watches hours and hours of baseball, football, and hockey. He can name the teams, give play by play commentary, and knows the penalties in the game. I made the announcement "My boys watch Tinkerbell...it's because they think the fairies are hot!".
