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.

Our parents were quite the VHS pirates weren't they? Interesting.
Need to get him hooked on Star Wars, Star Trek, and LOTR next....
Yes they sure were. Funny how times and people change. Remember how many Teddy Grahms mom used to let us eat? Even chocolate ones. Now it's only raw organic almonds for us. Haha.
It is in my baby book that I watched Star Wars at 19 days old. Wow. Maybe I should have continued the tradition.... Or maybe not.
I love the Sound of Music! You and Peter & I can watch it together some day... Most of the Mann family would choose a different movie but ...
