Today was Ayden's first movie theatre experience. I chose to go at nap time so that mamma's boy Cohen would be sleeping for my mom. I hoped he'd be asleep at least half the time we were gone. Turns out he was (and currently is) asleep. Nice!
I knew we were seeing it in 3D but when I said two please and the ticket lady said $20.50, my mouth fell open. Um, matanee? I pointed at Ayden and said shouldn't he be cheaper? She asked me how old he was and after I told her that he was two she said, "Oh he's free." Well thanks for asking how old he was before you tried to take $20.50 from me! Sam met us there with her 3 kiddos. I felt bad that she had to pay $40 seeing as how it was my idea to go and see the 3D one.
Ayden made it through half of the movie (maybe it was the mini m&m's I took for him) before he was all over the place.
"I have to pee."
"I have to poop."
"I don't want to wear the glasses."
"Carter."
"Carter, I have a boo boo, see it?"
We sat at the very top so it was a rather large row which in Ayden's mind meant that he didn't have to sit still. Sigh. After the last bathroom trip I told him we were leaving if he couldn't sit in his seat. He got up once and I let that one slide. We eventually made it through the movie. As soon as we got on the highway, Ayden was out.
Note to self: Maybe 2 1/2 isn't the right age for a movie or maybe it needs to be before or after a nap. I really want to go see Toy Story, we'll see...

Isn't that terrible? I've read about tickets being $20/ea. in NYC... I'm not sure how they expect to get that with the economy the way it is. I feel bad for all of the people that have to explain to their kids "I'm sorry we can't go because it's going to cost our family $100."
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I wanted to say that I am supportive of the life you choose to lead with your children...
My son is intact as well and I have recently decided to stop letting him get vaccinations- I am just hoping I don't have fight his doctor over this decision. I don't care for many of the OTC medications and choose homeopathic methods overall. I've had problems breastfeeding and my son only comfort nurses now- better than not nursing at all. I am just starting to get into baby-wearing.... =)
