Trix and I had another movie date with our neighbors today, and we sandwiched it between kindergarten visits. I took my neighbor and her son with me to drop off Vinny so they could see our place, and then in the afternoon we went to visit another kindergarten nearer to Andi's work. This hunting for kindergartens is a major pain. You have to register when you are still pregnant, and even so they have to fill some kind of age and sex quota and no matter what you do, you very likely may not end up with a spot at the end of the day. I really like the teachers and method where we are now, but the location stinks for us. We also liked the one we visited today, so we will try to register for this one and see if we get a spot.
But the more important part of our day involved the Baby Kino (movie theater) where we saw the Beasts of the Southern Wild. I was completely expecting a fairy tale from the two seconds I took to look at a poster advertising the movie. As it turns out it is a story about an impoverished motherless four year old girl, living with her alcoholic father in the Louisiana swampland and surrounded by the realities of live and death and suffering. Super uplifting.

You certainly had an interesting day what with Kinders and Wild Beasts. Or are those the same? Elsie looks very determined to be upright and better able to go after big brother on her feet. Cute smile!
ReplyDeleteThat reply on Feb. 7 was from me, Mom. Maybe you could tell. This reply is to comment on the Beast movie you saw. The 6 year-old girl is up for an Acadamy Award so you saw a good film even though it was sad. Maybe you should stick with Disney. Ha!
