Those of you with kids should check out this program with AMC theatres. They're doing free kids movies at 10am every wednesday all summer all over the country. Today was the first one and we had a great time!
It was Ella's first time in a movie theatre! She held my hand really tightly when we walked in because it was so dark and her jaw dropped when she saw the "really big TV" (what I'd been telling her we were going to see) with penguins that were bigger than her (the movie was Happy Feet)! She did really well sitting on my lap for a while and then wandering up and down the stairs right next to me and then ate her snack. She had a few people near us cracking up with her "dancing" along with the Happy Feet Penguins. All in all it was a very positive first movie experience for all. Another kid who had a hysterical temper tantrum for about 30 minutes of the movie was a good reminder of what could have happened when taking a 1 year old to the movies. Also, on a random note, for the 2nd time in 2 days Ella ate an adult size serving of curried chickpeas from an Afghan restaurant. We discovered she liked them a few months ago and she still scarfs them down. I'm glad but kind of surprised that she has a taste for such strong flavors!
