CARS - The Movie

The Movie 'CARS' came out on June 9th. We took Aedhan to see his first movie. He did an excellent job sitting and watching the film for two hours. He only got fidgety once or twice. Aedhan talked to the characters on-screen periodically, calling out, "Go, CAAAHHHSSS," and "Big cahs!"

As soon as the movie was over, Aedhan was off up the aisle, even before Mommie and Daddie, to go see the movie cardboard standee in the lobby. He stood next to the standee, talking to the cars for quite awhile, and pointing out to all nearby that these were his "cahs".

That evening Aedhan would not stop talking about the cars. He talked on the phone to GrandNan, Grandpa Tom, Grandma Fish, Pipi, and Papa all about the cars, cars, cars...

Later that evening we went to the official Disney website for the movie to allow him to watch the movie trailers and the teasers. We downloaded all of them for him to watch when he wanted, and also downloaded some JPEGs of the characters. From that day to the present, no evening is complete without a visit to the website, watching the trailers, or watching a slide-show of the JPEGs. He even, somehow, changed the computer desktop wallpaper to Fillmore the VW bus. When he wakes up in the morning his first words are "Cahs. Mah cahs!"

Here is a photo of Aedhan watching one of the Cars videos. He has become very proficient with the use of the mouse.
