Gojira
Saturday was a busy day.
Now, I worry a lot about all the television that Sebastian watches. So after we dropped Teri off at the animal shelter, I decided to take him with me to buy the groceries I'd need to make calzones. But on the way, I asked if he wanted to stop at the library for a little while. Of course he did.
We ended up staying in the library for two and a half hours. He did a very cute little puppet show, singing quiet little songs from behind the puppet stage; a mother who was sitting near me smiled, obviously charmed by his show.
He also spent a lot of time playing with the large-sized lego-type blocks, building Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, and Jet Jaguar. A couple of pretty little girls were playing near him; one was perhaps five or six, while the other was certainly under two. The five-year-old kept asking me to play with her "Will you be a giraffe? An elephant?", while the two-year-old was simply fascinated by Sebastian. She kept coming over and trying to help him, bringing him pieces he didn't need and picking up things he didn't want picked up. But he was quite good about that.
We also ordered a number of books. And for the first time, he asked me to help him find a book on an educational topic: he wants to be a paleontologist, so he took out a book on dinosaurs. I also looked up and ordered books about drawing Avatar, and a children's book called "Meet Godzilla!". Finally, we borrowed a DVD of Mothra vs. Godzilla. He hadn't seen much more than clips of any Godzilla movie before, for all that he's a huge fan; Teri was worried that they might be too scary for him. But Mothra vs. Godzilla was made in 1964 - the year I was born, coincidentally - and wasn't really frightening at all.
He loved it. After he watched the English-dubbed version all the way through, he watched quite a bit of the subtitled Japanese version. I have a feeling we'll be watching a lot more Godzilla movies in the years to come! :D
