A Morning at the Movies...

The theatre here at our mall plays movies for free during the summer, and I've been wanting to try it out with Jaylen. This week they were playing Alvin and the Chipmunks, and I figured he'd get a kick out of the little chipmunks with there funny voices. So last night, Jaylen was getting pretty excited about it... until this morning about the time we left the house he said he didn't want to go because it was too scary. The whole way there, he was not wanting to go. I fugured, well, we'll at least go to the mall, and if nothing else, play in the play area. Once we got there, he wanted to go in the stroller (he never wants this!) so I let him. As soon as we walked into the mall, he took one look at the arcade games in the theatre, and another at the candy, and he wanted in! So just like that, we got our popcorn and went straight in, no problem! He sat in the stroller for a few minutes, then wanted to sit in the "cool chair" that almost folded in half on him. But overall, a very good experience! Sometimes I have to push Jaylen a little out of his comfort zone, I think it's good for him! Trevor was with us, by the way, and didn't seem to mind it... although he didn't particularly enjoy it either. I guess you could say he tolerated it. :)

  1. I'm impressed they stayed for the whole thing. I don't think my girls would have sat there. :-)

  2. I was actually a little surprised myself. It did involve Trevor having his blankie and binki (normally he only gets these when it's time to sleep)... And they did stop the movie for a little intermission, it was perfect!
