Yesterday Joel took Ben to see Kung Fu Panda.

Ben was thoroughly enchanted by the entire experience - the movie posters, the food ("Daddy bought me a Coke that was so big I couldn't even carry it!") He sat through the whole movie without complaint, up to the last five minutes when he started to get a little restless, but he still made it through the whole movie.
