So Alex has now seen his first movie in a theater. On Father’s day, he & I went to the morning showing of Toy Story 3. Everything you’ve heard is true. It’s a great movie, it’s quite a bit darker than the earlier films, and it really yanks heartstrings at the end. As the tension built during the film, I kept glancing at Alex to make sure he wasn’t scared… Nope. At the end of the movie, when I heard lots of sniffles from the audience, I again looked at Alex. Dry-eyed. I guess it’s a long road to full emotional maturity…
