This morning Spencer and I had the privilege of seeing a sneak preview of Tangled, Disney's retelling of Rapunzel. Spencer was enraptured by the animation, in particular a beautiful sequence towards the end featuring floating lanterns that, through the magic of 3D, seemed to linger in the air just out of our reach. As far as the story was concerned, Spencer wondered why Rapunzel wanted to leave the tower and why her mother didn't want her to go. By the time he realized that Mother Gothel did not have Rapunzel's best interest at heart, the tension was almost too much for him to bear. A few tears were shed when it appeared the villains would get away with their evil deeds but Disney saved the day with a happy ending.
After the movie, Spencer and I went for lunch at the Beverly Hills Diner, a restaurant we had visited once before as a family. Spencer had loved selecting music on the miniature jukebox located at our table. Unfortunately, the jukeboxes were not working today but the food hit the spot. It was nice to spend time together, just the two of us. I foresee more mother-son outings in our future.
