First Trip to the Movie Theater

Big call out to Parents Magazine. My eye caught an ad for Tonka Trucks Emergency Vehicles movie, and I knew that was right up Little Blue's alley, so with a little investigating I looked up which theater participated in the Kidtoons programs. So, this weekend, LB and I took in Pinocchio 3K.

Story is what you'd expect with a technical twist, but it was good story. I was a little cranky at the Great Mall for opening up the theater 5 minutes before the movie was supposed to begin, but once they rang LB and I up for 4 bucks, I kept my lip shut.

The bad thing about it...LB and I were the only one in the theater. Chitlins love to learn by example, and while there was some humor in the movie, it wasn't enough to get me to smirk, and LB was so in shock over the whole thing I don't think he even really knew how to take it all in. If there had been other kids his age there laughing along, then he probably would have had more fun.

We grabbed a booster and he sat in his own seat for about half the movie, then he hopped over to Dad's lap and finished off the movie.

We split a bottled water and a box of raisenettes, and had a good time watching the "big TV."

Still, Monday morning on the way to daycare, he asked if we could go see another one.

At 4 bucks, how could I say no? We'll have to see how often the movies rotate and go catch another one.
