I even took a shower & I'm putting on some real clothes for the occasion (I think I've been wearing the same sweats for two days now).
Yep, my husband is taking my son & I out tonight to catch Ice Age 2.
I hope we won't have to ask the theater staff to turn down the volume this time though. We had to do that at Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. I listened as the sound was just barely perceptibly lowered just enough for me to notice. I'm sure no one else noticed the slight sound decrease unless they were listening for it.
I'm very sensitive to noise. I swear sometimes they think the audience is so deaf that they crank up the volume past the threshold of human hearing. Then they MAKE us deaf.
The last movie we saw in the theatre was Curious George. We totally adored that movie. It was so clean and wholesome, enjoyable for kids & adults alike. John & I found it to be very much a reflection of what it's like to be raising a toddler for the first time. We stayed through the credits, and found we had the whole place to ourselves since everyone else in the audience walked out as soon as the credits started rolling. We played "tag" with Michael through the aisles and seating levels. Then John took him up to the screen to "catch" the monkey pictures on the credits as they rolled up and flew away. It was so cute.
I know we'll have a lot more limitations when our second child is born. A LOT more limitations. We won't be able to run around and do unconventional things for quite some time.
John said we might even have to start getting babysitters occasionally. Hmm.... What a concept...
