Happy Birthday, Junior!

When I went to pick Mia up from daycare today, she had a hat on with Martin Luther King, Jr. on it.  She said, "Look at my hat, Mommy!  It's Junior's birthday!"  It took me a second to read the hat and realize she was talking about MLK. 

Wes and Mia went on a daddy/daughter date last night.  PeeWee's Big Adventure is playing at the Texas Theater here in Oak Cliff.  That's right, the same one where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested.  They like to show older movies usually.  Mia has watched clips of PeeWee on Wesley's phone and really likes the show.  It was Mia's very first movie theater experience.  After they bought their tickets, Wes asked Mia if she wanted some popcorn.  Of course, she said yes.  As they were waiting in line to get the popcorn, Wes said that Mia told him, "I like you Daddy.  You're nice to me and buy me popcorn."  Melt my heart!  I'll bet he'd take her to a movie again in a second after hearing that.  Wes said she did great during the movie.  She just sat quietly and ate her popcorn.  She didn't even ask to go to the restroom.  He said towards the end she was getting a little restless and climbed into his lap.  She was excited when she got home.  She was very animated as she told me about the movie.  She's ready to go to another one I think!
