Bree's First Movies at a Theater

Being 3 in a few months, we thought we should start introducing Bree to movies in the theater! I was a little worried about her making through the movie and sitting there watching the whole thing.  Of course she loves Dora, Peppa Pig, Wow Wow Wubzy, and Bubble Guppies, but I knew this would be a different experience!
 
The past few weeks we have been taking Bree to Harkins Theater in Southlake for the summer movies.  Happy Feet 2 was her first experience in a movie theater.  She was so excited the whole way to the movies and kept talking about seeing the penguins.  She loved the theater and being able to play in the aisles.  When the movie started she wanted to know where the penguins were! The movie began with them singing and dancing and she was caught up in it all.  As the movie slowed down a little about 30 minutes into it, she began to cry and wanted to go home :(  We tried to talk to her but with no avail and had to end up leaving.  First attempt at a movie..... FAIL!!!



So yesterday we made our second attempt with Alvin and the Chipmunks, Shipwrecked! I popped some popcorn to take and took some of Bree's favorite snacks to see if that would help her stay there longer.  She wanted popcorn as soon as we got to the theater, but only ate a little.  As soon as she saw the Chipmunks, she was mesmerized! She made it through about 45 minutes and wanted to play with my phone, but while she had it she watched more of the movie than played with my phone.  To our surprise, Bree made it through the whole movie!! She loved it!!! Second attempt at a movie.... SUCCESS!!!! :)

Our next trip...... to watch Rio :)
