I thought it would be cute to take Ava to her first movie last Friday evening.\u00c2\u00a0 Pixar’s latest, Ratatouille<\/a>, is out, and it looked really good.<\/p>\n

Well, it was really good.\u00c2\u00a0 At least the 2\/3 of it I saw.\u00c2\u00a0 Ava lost interest after a while and said she wanted to go home.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, once we got home, she started crying because she wanted to go back to the movie.\u00c2\u00a0 Ah, the life of a child who gets whatever she wants.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose it made sense to her that we’d simply be able to leave and return to the theater whenever we liked.<\/p>\n

I really thought we might make it.\u00c2\u00a0 There’s a scene at the beginning of the movie when an old woman who lives in the farmhouse where Remy and his clan have taken up residence goes after the rats with a shotgun.\u00c2\u00a0 Lots of loud noise and violent images of things getting blown apart, and it was all a bit much for Ava.\u00c2\u00a0 Scenes Leah and I wouldn’t have been sensitive to at all had we been alone suddenly made us cringe and shrug as we thought about Ava watching it.\u00c2\u00a0 But Ava jumped up on Leah’s lap and made it through that scene, and even through the harrowing escape through the sewers.\u00c2\u00a0 There just wasn’t enough there to keep Ava interested all the way through.\u00c2\u00a0 Leah graciously offered to take Ava out into the mall to walk around while I finished watching, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it without them (and I also knew the movie would be out before too long on DVD).<\/p>\n

Looks like I’m going to have to push back Ava’s introduction to The Deer Hunter<\/a> by a couple months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
