Alex at the Movies

Well, I didn't think we'd be taking Alex to the movies until he was a toddler at least but tonight he enjoyed his very first flick--Iron Man 2.



There's a local movie theatre that has Diaper Date Night movie screenings where couples and their little ones can get out of the house and meet up with other parents/babies in a kid-friendly environment. The had baby safe lighting and sound levels inside.

Before Alex, Matt and I were always on top of all the box office hits so we're thrilled to have a workaround.

We couldn't believe how packed the place was and were lucky enough to find a seat. Alex slept through most of the movie in Matt's arms but there were a couple of moments where I saw his eyes open and he calmly stared at the screen. He's so cute! Can't get over it.

We had a relatively good night and day. He slept in a 4 hour blocked followed by a 5 hour block and we were all lucky enough to sleep in until 9:30am. Matt and I definitely needed it. We both felt really refreshed all day. After waking up we went to the mall for a walk since the weather outside is really weird and rainy (hello? May??) Alex seemed like he needed a change of scenery anyway and we hadn't visited the mall in awhile.

He was good about all his naps today too but I'm not holding my breath for the rest of the week.
2 more weeks and and it's back to work! Getting a little nervous!

  1. What a great idea to have a family night at the movies! You'll have to let us know where and when the next one is happening!
