Peter's First Movie

I will never forget the first time I watched The Sound of Music. I believe I was about eight years old and we were on our annual two week vacation in Delray Beach at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Although we had quite a library of movies at home, for some reason my parents left out this gem. (Not on purpose, but my guess is probably because it was never playing on TV or owned by a family member for them to record illegally. Thankfully, they don't do that anymore.) I distinctly remember sitting on Grandpa & Grandma's bed and marveling at the delightful story. I was thrilled. And I still love that movie dearly to this day.

A few weeks ago, at less than three months old, Peter watched his first movie: The Sound of Music. He was fussy, and I was out of ideas. I pulled the swing up to the TV, and Maria started serenading him with "The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music." While he was entertained enough to stop fussing, he did fall asleep about two minutes later.
