"Where baby lion go?"

This was the question of the night....asked about 1,000,000 times during the new movie Madagascar 2. During the first part of the movie, the 'mane' star (get it? main/mane for the lion :), is a baby so you can see what happened in the past. In a matter of a second, he turns from a baby into a full grown lion. To a 2 year old, this makes NO sense. Hence the question - WHERE BABY LION GO???? I am serious...every 2 seconds she asked me. I answered with: he grew up, he isn't a baby lion anymore, he is a big boy now, he died, he ran away....finally I came up with the idea..."He is a big lion now like Elisabeth is a big girl!". Brilliant, huh?? After that, she said 1,000,000 times "Lion grew up, big like Elisabeth!!" UGH!! Who was it that wanted her to start talking and wondered if she ever would???????? Oh, to go back to those days of babbling :)

She did do extremely well for her second experience at the movie theater (the first one was "Horton Hears a Who"...which she hated and had to be taken out). For this one, she bounced a few times, had to pee once, but mainly sat still and ate popcorn and TALKED ABOUT THE MOVIE. I was so ready for nap by the time we got home... shouldn't movies be relaxing????
