Luke's first movie in the theater

On the 4th of July, Josh and I took Luke to see his first ever movie in the theater. We had been planning to take him to see Shrek the Third, but I guess we waited too long because it wasn't playing around here anymore. Luckily, Toy Story 3 had also come out and Luke was sort of familiar with Woody and Buzz from watching Toy Story for about one week prior to our outing.
We talked it up a bit to him, got him his own little tray of popcorn and fruit snacks and a lemonade. We weren't sure what to expect since he never really sits through more than 10-15 minutes of a movie at home, but figured since his ticket was free it was worth a try!
Here he is before the show starts:



And after the movie in front of the theater whose doors were decorated for Toy Story 3.



Luke did pretty well. He was interested in it for about an hour and then said he wanted to go potty (which at that time he was not doing, it was just an excuse to leave and he knew we had been encouraging any interest in using the potty!) I think it may have been to a scary part for him. For those who have seen it, they were in the darkened preschool classroom at the time and maybe it was a little too dark for him. Anyway, I took him out to the bathroom where he wanted to wash his hands and then we went back in and stood off to the side for about 10 minutes. After that little bit he was ready to go sit back down and did so for the rest of the movie!
We haven't been to another movie yet, but based on that experience, I'd take him again!
