We were at the in-laws for dinner the other night, and someone put Apollo 13 in the DVD player. I didn't give the movie a whole lot of attention when I first noticed someone had put it on, I've seen it before. But I could not
believe what I saw a few minutes later, when my 2 1/2 year old saw the launch scene of the rocket. He was mesmerized. He stood there and watched the entire thing. When we turned it off for a few minutes for dinner, he cried for the rocket to come back. When it was over, he sat there looking forlorn crying "Rocket? Want rocket back!"
I got our copy of the movie out yesterday and we're now on our 4th showing of Apollo 13 since yesterday morning.
It's a good movie, but I think I'm going to hide the DVD after this showing.
So, instead of me thinking he'll be an aerobatic pilot, I guess he'll be an astronaut.
