Diaper Date Night

LOVED going to the movies last night - Diaper Date Night $7 for adults, kids under 4 free. We traveled about 25 minutes South (which in the bay is "a lot" but in our hometown would be no big deal at all for some kind of event...here we're greedy like "why doesn't our city offer this?") to a private cinema chain that offers family movie days (12:30 showings) and date nights (7pm showings)  I also now belong to a yahoo group that votes on what movie we want to see next...so cool. We had dinner at home, put CC in his pj's and drove down to watch The Time Traveler's Wife, a bit of a snooze but definitely got better in the middle-end. I almost made it through the movie without crying but the last 10 minutes got me :) Definitely interesting enough for me to have English Teacher discussion questions afterwards - which I'd love to propose for anyone interested after seeing this flick...won't post them now as I can't stand spoilers!

It was great to be in a theater so considerate of family needs: a) soft lighting during the film b) baby friendly sound levels. It was also a good experience to be surrounded by other families and be reminded how good we have it with our little guy.  The movie was full of parents/babies bouncing in the aisle, squeals & cries to be quieted by parents with neighbors who understood, blankets and toys on the floor for amusement.  It was especially good to know that my husband enjoyed himself - despite the chick flick title- and is looking forward to our next diaper date night :)
