Parker's first movie!

So I thought it'd be fun to take P to the movies to see turbo. This was his first time ever. I wanted to go all out and get him a kids snack- drink, popcorn, and fruit snacks. He didn't even try the popcorn which is weird cause he likes popcorn. The movie was late playing and p was getting stir crazy so we went and bought m&ms. That helped for a little bit. The movie finally started! He was doing okay for a little bit but got a little scared and moved to my lap. He was freaking out, shaking and on the verge of tears. He did okay for maybe 5 more mins the. Kept saying "Parker's house, Parker's house!" So I decided we could leave. Luckily they refunded us since we last less than 30 mins. Once we got home p kept talking about the most recent scenes we watched. I explained them to him then we wanted to go back and watch it. Haha.

Later that week we decided to try the movies again. Maybe he'd do better with daddy there. We got there a little earlier to see if maybe sitting further back would help P. but by the time the movie finally started he was basically ready to go.

He was too distracted with the pre movie shows for pictures. P got passed the scenes that upset him before pretty good. He did move to drews lap towards the beginning. Mid movie or so he started getting really anxious again and moved to my lap. If a scene was on where I thought he'd be scared I just talked him through the scene. Or if something was supposed to be funny I tried to over do it with laughing to let P know it was meant to be funny. A couple times he even laughed on his own and said "that's funny" 
Success!! We made it through the whole movie! P even asked for more! Drew thought this was one of the funest things we've fine with P. drew loved to watch Parker even the movie.
