Caiden's 1st Movie!



I finally took Caiden to see his first movie in a movie theater. Katie and her two kids and Caiden and I just couldn't wait to see the new Disney movie, Ratatouille.

Candy anyone? Of course I bought him some candy - you can't go to your 1st movie without it!


Caiden was entralled with the big screen and just kept staring at it. He wouldn't take his eyes off of it. About half way through he got a bit antsy and started asking for milk, to go to the bathroom, wanted to play the games in saw in the lobby, etc...

Caiden and I in the movie theater...the previews are on, which is why he isn't looking at the camera
Big Eyes...can't take his eyes off the screen
Even for a picture, but hey, he still smiled :)

Finally the movie was over, and we get back in the car after a long day. Katie then asks Caiden what his favorite part of the movie was and he proudly exclaims "Shamu!". He then goes on to say how he would kill the mouse...clearly I think he missed the point of this movie.

At this point, I'm not sure if he just isn't ready for a movie, or if this movie was a bit over his head. Maybe I need to stick with Happy Feet and Cars. He likes those. We never really let him watch TV, so he prefers to play than watch movies. Hmm...thoughts?

I loved his face as he looked at the screen. Looked like fun.

That was a fun outing and yes we will wait another year before we try it again. We can always run all the way to the park! That is always great fun and Emma loves going down the slide with Caiden

Jack has a hard time at the Movies too. I think its just a lot going on for them and they want to experience it all. Ratatouille was the first movie that we got Jack to sit all the way through.

That's what he said. Although he would never hurt a fly. He is so sensitive. I just think that he loses interest after a while.
