I will be so proud of my little elitist. No, just kidding - I also think The Polar Express was an exellent choise. Up would also have been great, but maybe it is too gloomy for a two year-old. PS. Now I got it! I'll buy Schindler's List DVD (or Blu-ray, or whatever future format) for my first child when he/she turns two. Great vision.

Glad Henry had a fun time, and what a great selection for his first flick. Pretty soon you'll have another movie critic in your house, and you two will be able to collaborate on fun film adventures together. Fantastic!

Sometimes we lose sight of the experience they’re having versus the experience we WANT them to have. It’s a definite tight rope walk between living vicariously through your children and (if you’ll pardon the pun) railroading their own experience with your own expectations" I think that pretty much sums it up nicely. Glad that he was able to enjoy the experience as much as possible and made it a pleasurable experience for Cami and yourself. “As parents, I think we (collectively) put a lot of pressure on ourselves to provide a “perfect” experience for our children.
