Little Mister would eat his weight in popcorn, and then he has nasty diapers for days afterward. But the popcorn keeps him busy ... so ... it's a trade I guess. lol<br /><br />I see our movie going becoming even less frequent starting Friday.stewberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940744366129679442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475361409430947994.post-34624328354542964862010-06-09T14:05:30.308-06:002010-06-09T14:05:30.308-06:00I got nuthin'.

I really wish I had that skill. <br /><br />We did movies all the time when ours was a baby, but then quit until this month, when he turned 3 and a half. And it works great if we go to our local, sort of crappy theater that is always pretty empty and we sit in the middle and use about 8 seats. He runs back and forth between us and eats popcorn by the barrelfull (cuz yes, it is essential) and we all have a great time. But then, I only have one, which surely makes a big 'ol difference.elesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933840731880198785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475361409430947994.post-67334202094957697752010-06-09T09:27:43.349-06:002010-06-09T09:27:43.349-06:00I sit on the end of the aisle...older kids farthes...I sit on the end of the aisle...older kids farthest away and pretty much plan on standing up (and bouncing baby) through the whole movie.
