Wallace and Gromit

When I met Luke and we had our first "date" in his room, watching movies and playing Monopoly, the three Wallace and Gromit short films were a part of his collection. When I taught reading to 9th and 10th graders at AVHS, I used them to teach parts of a story. Luke and I went to see the feature length Wallace and Gromit in the theater, though I remember being really tired and actually laying down on the stadium seats. Nowadays, Wallace and Gromit is beloved by Quinn. We started him with the VHS videos, though we found them a pain in the butt with the rewinding and such, but Quinn loved them. Then, I picked up the movie at Blockbuster one night and he was an instant fan. For Christmas, Chris and Sheryl gave him his own copy and now it's a staple of our collection. At present, Quinn is sitting in the floor watching with a half smile planted on his face. He's completely entranced, though not so much so that he can't hold his foot or say a line before it happens.:) He's excellent at predicting and also narrating what is happening. Smart fellow!
