Winnie the Pooh opened yesterday, so with free babysitting for Susanna, we figured we should take the big kids to their first movie at the theater! They both loved the whole experience. Elizabeth was too little to see the screen in her seat, so she ended up on Daddy’s lap for the movie. Tommy was so enraptured that he spent most of the movie standing up, leaning over the chair ahead of him so that he could catch every detail. It’s a nice, gentle, funny movie for little kids like ours who haven’t seen many movies at all and can only handle a basic plot with a bit of silliness on the side. Lizzie would cry out to us at particularly memorable scenes–“B’loon, Daddy! B’loon!”–while Tommy just squealed with laughter. We got popcorn, and while Elizabeth could multitask eating and watching (a true daughter of mine), Tommy was so concentrated on watching that he forgot to eat. All in all, we had a great first trip to the movies!
Oh how fun!!! We’ve thought about letting Evangeline go see the Winnie the Pooh movie this summer too…
My mom and sisters took Aidan to see Pooh Bear yesterday. He LOVED it! I took him to see Cars 2 (I will have to tell you all about that one…) but this was a movie he actually understood and enjoyed!
