Caden's First Movie

Yesterday on a whim we decided to go the movies--with Caden. Last time we tried that was for Justin's birthday, and Caden and I spent almost the whole time in the hallway. This time we thought he might be more interested, at least in the popcorn (one of his favorite foods) if not the movie. We picked Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, because we liked the first two and it was very kid friendly. Caden sat in a booster seat between us with a box full of popcorn. The movie started and he was mesmerized. The screen was so big! And he went to town with the popcorn. He'd grab a fistful, stick it all in his mouth, including his fist, and then repeat. (Let me tell ya, his diaper this morning was extra gross!) He did well for most of the movie. Towards the end he was a little antsy, but he stayed quiet and manageable. It was really fun! I am so glad we found a new family activity, because Justin and I really miss going to the movies. However, we can only see kid films with Caden. Still, dollar theater, here we come!
