Mama got today off because she had to work last Saturday, which was perfect because it was opening day for “Finding Dory”! Janie loves “Finding Nemo” and had seen the billboards everywhere lately. We thought it would be a good first movie for her in a theater so this morning, we drove to Emeryville (also where Pixar is located) to watch the 10am showing.
It was fun finding all the different Finding Dory posters in the lobby.
The theater was pretty dark for her and she was a little nervous about that. We brought a bag of popcorn from home, which helped settle her in her seat for the previews. It was A LOT of previews and she kept asking “where’s Finding Dory?”
I think she enjoyed the movie but she got scared of Hank, the octopus, and started to cry. She held onto us crying “I wanna go home! It’s too long!” I think that was her way of saying she was scared. Luckily, we convinced her to stay and finished the movie.
For lunch, we stopped for pizza in the shopping center. We also went to Barnes and Noble to pick up a few new books including a “Finding Dory” storybook. What a fun morning!
