I am telling on myself since babies/toddlers are suppose to have zero screen time, but we watch movies at our house. Eli's favorite movies are Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar -- oldies but goodies.
Kung Fu Panda 2 came out Memorial Day weekend and we decided Eli needed the big screen experience. So Sunday we packed up snacks, drinks, a toy and headed to Tinseltown. It's only $4 per ticket so an investment we were willing to make in case we had to walk out.
He did AMAZING! We got there 15 minutes prior to start and he sat in his chair through all the previews up to the last 10 minutes of the movie. I would say a total of 2 hours he was engrossed in the movie. I am totally impressed.
Enjoying a snack before the movie.
Eli gives it a thumbs up.
Now, the sad thing is Brent and I have not been to a movie in probably a year. I guess the compromise will be if we see a movie, it will be a cartoon.
No shame in that. Liam thinks Barney is Celebrity #1 in our house. :) We have been thinking about taking him to a movie soon. Glad your trip to the movies went well.
ReplyDeleteFUNNNNN!!! Cartoons at the movies are a great experience for every age. Eli is real trooper and I'm sure the Big Panda was very eye opening for him. Looks like you all had a great day at the movies! I always do. love ya, auntie sheila
