When Taysom was an infant, I remember going to a movie. I think he breast fed and slept most of the time. He was seriously only a few months old though, so that does not really count as his first 'Movie Theatre Experience'. I hadn't really thought about taking him much before, but we were invited to go see Finding Dory (The Finding Nemo sequel) with some friends. We agreed and actually got pretty excited, enough so that when they decided to go to a showing that was far too late for Taysom and Chris, we decided to go by ourselves to an earlier showing. (Go FatCats for doing $5 Ticket Tuesdays!)
Taysom was in awe! He really loved it. He also thoroughly enjoyed the popcorn! He loves fish, so it was the perfect movie for him. He only got restless about the last 30 minutes and just wanted to go to the arcade. At one point during the movie he started reaching to the little girl next to me. She had to have been about 6 years old and was this adorable blonde girl. Taysom wanted to sit on HER lap and would settle for nothing less. This is when we decided to stand up with him. We stood up near the entrance with him, but never had to leave. (The truck scene helped to reengage him.)
After the movie, we let Taysom explore the arcade for a little bit. It was so weird! They replaced all coins and tokens with these re-loadable credit card things. Half the games just stole our money! :( But Taysom loved ski ball, basketball, and the motorcycle game. It was a fun little experience for sure.
Side Note: He does this all the time! I don't know what it is, but every time he sees a cute blonde girl around 6-8 years old, he clings to her. He wants her to hold him and will even choose her over mommy! I think I finally figured out why though. He has a cousin named Kemiry who is the cutest little (almost) 6 year old ever. Whenever we go to Oregon to visit, she is always the first to play with him, sit by him, and be his best friend. She loves him and they have totally created an awesome bond. I think he thinks all blonde girls are Kem! Too funny!
