Movies and

[Guest guest]

I'd mentioned recently how was avoiding some movies, even

being in the room, and that I thought they were the action type.

Wrong.

Also had said he'd feel anxiety at those times, so would

leave.

We went to BlockBuster (not something we do often) last night and

couldn't pick out any movies. The 2 he would have picked out

he had already seen (Shrek2 and Spiderman2) and said not to

bother that his girlfriend had them, save the $$, we could borrow

them. So we ended up with 4 movies. said while there that

he didn't know if he'd watch any of them. Hmmm...

Get home. and I decide to watch Hidalgo first. 's

planning to leave the room. I tell him how he'd even said he thought

it'd be good back when it first came out (like he'd go with me to see

it at theater, which we didn't). 's more or less

daring/ordering to stay. won't say it's OCD or not.

I told him if it's just boredom to him, then " stay. " If it's OCD,

then see how long he can stay. Tell to back off (he's much

worse than me!).

We start the movie. is in there but won't look at the TV.

(He does that sometimes) keeps looking at not looking

at the TV and commenting. I tell " stop. "

Anyway, stayed in there for the entire movie. Even looked at

times I think. If he's not looking, he at least seems to be

listening. (Sometimes he'll go to sleep for avoidance)

comments to about not looking at it. I tell (and

) that it was great that just stayed and I was proud

of him for doing that, trying.

Today we watched " 13 going on 30 " a comedy. stayed but still

avoided looking a lot. Still, he stayed.

Two more movies to go!
