Julia has started to finally (mostly) sit still for movies when we watch them at home. She is also really into Dragons right now. So with the new movie "How To Train Your Dragon" just out, we thought it was a perfect time to take Julia to a movie in a theater for the first time. Jerrod got this afternoon off because he went in at 2am one day last week, so we took her to a matinee this afternoon. Jerry and Debbie watched Jude.
Julia did great! She got really antsy towards that end and had to use the restroom once during the movie, but still, a great job for the first time. Part of the antsy problem was our fault. We got to the movie theater too early and we had to wait 20 minutes before the movie started. So by the end of the movie, she had been sitting there for over 2 hours, that is just too long for her to sit still.
She also really enjoyed the popcorn! We got a big bucket and all three of us shared. We also shared one big Sprite, which she drank a lot of (hence the restroom visit in the middle of the movie). She even asked halfway through the movie if we could get more popcorn!
We brought her Blankie along just in case she got scared and needed it. She did fine, but we did notice there were a few times she covered her face.
As soon as the movie was over and we were walking out she said "That was FUN!". I think we will be doing this more often.
