Riley's First Movie Theater Movie!

This is when we first sat down - he was like What's THAT?!

Riley did AWESOME at his first movie today! I saw that Winnie the Pooh was out and that it was only 1 hour and 15 minutes long, so we decided to give it a go! We had donuts with GiGi then went to an "early bird" showing. Pretty much every parent had the same idea! The theater was packed! Riley did so good! We got there earlier than we intended to, but he was all about it! He probably sat and watched at least 3 quarters of the movie before he started to get restless and wanted to stand up and move around a bit. I let him stand up. 

He did give play by play action a few times and was talking pretty loud, but only on a few scenes. They did a really good job with the movie pace and peppering in songs to grab their attention back at regular intervals. 

The only issue was had was when it was over - Riley didn't understand why we couldn't watch it again Mommy like we do at home! ha! All day today he would randomly say - "Mommy - Pooh's over. I want to watch it again."

I'd like to take him to see Cars 2, but it's almost 2 hours long! What were they thinking for a kid movie?! I don't think we're ready for that level of commitment yet! 


It was crazy though! We had donuts on our way to the movie and I SWEAR Riley killed more of the large "copcorn" than the rest of us! He's a machine like his Daddy sometimes!

Then he settled in with his LARGE "copcorn"!
