Let?s go to the movies?

Well, we have another topic for the Fuller?s Firsts archives. On Tuesday, Damon took Fuller to his first movie theater experience.

Now, I would bug D to write his own entry about the outing, but ya?ll he is very busy. What with the attic project still underway and the various and sundry little things that make our house run- that is all darling D.

So, I offer you my version of the events. No, I wasn?t there, but I was there when I grilled Damon on how my little/ big boy did on this momentous occasion.

Fuller sat through the whole thing. Granted, it was a movie he has seen several times before, but that actually made me think he would get bored. But no, he sat on the edge of his seat, clutching his sippy cup and eating popcorn (another first!) to his little heart?s content.

While he did seem to enjoy the movie, the real reason he was sitting on the edge of his seat was because if he sat back any farther the seat would fold up on him. D did place Fuller?s backpack behind him to help out a little bit, but it wasn?t enough. D tried to use his leg to keep the seat down, but Fuller had to be pushed to the front of the seat so he could enjoy the movie.

I was worried that Fuller would think it was too loud, too dark, too crowded, or too much like having to sit still for an hour and a half. Apparently, none of these things bothered him. He did start to talk/ sing at the end of the movie, but a pacifier also serves as a great sound stopper for children.

We don?t plan on taking him to the movies on a regular basis, but since these are free movies, full of other children who may have to be taken out of the theater for screaming or being unruly, it was a great way to break him into a great American pastime- sitting on our behinds for several hours at a time.

Now, if only our pew training at church will go as well.
