The movie theater in Monticello has been offering free second run movies throughout the summer. I have been meaning to take Anthony to a Wednesday movie, but I was either in class or we weren't around to make that happen. FINALLY today we were able to go and he experienced his first big screen moment watching Stuart Little 2. As he was chopping down on popcorn and the theater began to fill up he was constantly asking about when he could see the mouse. The amazing part for me is how well he did throughout the movie. All together we ended up sitting for around 90 minutes and he did exceptionally well. Of course he was doing the usual toddler behaviors of walking down the aisle instead of sitting, asking several (LOUD) why questions and laying on the floor for parts of it, but I was pleasantly surprise it went so smoothly. The best thing is that the place was full of toddlers talking too loud, spilling popcorn and laughing way after the funny parts. Anthony blended in well!
Unfortunately, there is only one more Wednesday movie - Charlotte's Web - and I already picked up our free passes to go again next week. If anyone would like to join us and be a part of the fun, let us know!
