Movie Day Out

Finally, I took Shan Leo to watch Madagascar. I tell myself that I have to do it this weekend because the coming weekend, we will be going for a short holiday. And, Shan Leo wanted to watch Bolt too. So, I better hurry...


Since Shan Leo had the McD head gear, we took it along. Here comes Alex & Melman Shan Leo! After we finished the movie, Shan Leo asked "2ma, can you tell me the story? I don't understand the story". I am kinda surprised he told me that. This is the first time Shan Leo says such a thing after a movie. Hmm...is it because Shan Leo is much wiser now, and watching a cartoon movie is not about watching the cartoon only, but also understanding the story line???

In fact, Shan Leo started to go to the movies at about 18 months (if I remember correctly). He has watched "Open Season", "Happy Feet", "Alvin & The Chipmunks", "Horton Hears a Who", "Cars", "Kung Fu Panda" and now "Madagascar - Escape 2 Africa".

It is a bliss to bring Shan Leo to the movies because he will sit throughout the entire movie without a single complaint or screaming to go home. So, the money spent is definitely worth it!
