We saw "Horton Hears a Who". It was D2's very first movie in the theater. She loved it!! I was a little sad that H had to miss that, but he is going to have to realize he will be missing a lot of things now.
I too have been confused about the "acting happy" thing. I like your explanation about me acting happy and him wanting to be around that. That makes more sense. It definitely is counterintuitive though.
