On one hand you don't want to annoy everyone else there but on the other hand it's not fair for him to have to miss out, and just like you said, having to wait for movies to come out on DVD.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12459933378672165620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607880208900848123.post-23057618114433205722009-11-10T22:30:53.129-08:002009-11-10T22:30:53.129-08:00What an awesome idea!

He has done better as he is a bit older now, but the first movie we went to, we had to leave 10 minutes into it. Then, the second one, he sat through it, but he looked like he had been hit by a mack truck afterwards. <br /><br />One especially happy memory we have is the summer all the kids wanted to see a particular movie and they played it at a drive in that is 45 minutes from our house. It made us feel so normal to see a movie when it had just gotten into the theater rather than always having to wait for it on DVD.Angie @ Many Little Blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846708503551936348noreply@blogger.com
