I am actually thinking about taking Leah and the boys to a Movie this afternoon. This will be Leah's first movie. (She turned 2 in May)

I think Darien was three and Jonas was almost 3 when they went to their first movie.

I am going to take them to The Wild. It is playing at the local theater (an old theater that has one theater and one matinee and one evening show per day) and it is only $3.50 per person.

I figure if it doesn't work out, we didn't waste too much money.

I didn't tell DH about it, because he would tell me I'm crazy. I'll tell him if it goes well!

Baby, I think. I don't remember. We've been taking her to the movies for a long time now.

She'll probably do fine as long as she doesn't get bored, then she may run all over the place. Kids love to sit in the front, but I think it's a little too close to the speakers for a first timer.

Lenora,

That's good to know. I think Leah will actually do fine. She likes to watch movies (DVD's) on the TV.

Kate usually does pretty well at cartoons and movies with "monsters" she absolutely loves monsters. She actually liked X-men. She was glued to the screen the whole time and now she wants to see pirates of the Caribean II because it's filled with pirates and monsters and she loves those things. Weird kid, I know.

That would be Jonas. He loves movies like that, but not Leah and Darien.

I blame it on too much Scooby Doo. Shes' been going around pretending to be a ghost and a vampire bat lately.

Trey was 3 1/2 and we saw cronicles of Narnia. He was really good for it.

Trey LOVES both Scooby doo movies.

We've been taking Nicole for a while now, so probably about 18 months. The local theater has a crier room, so if she does want to run all over and yell the only ones she'll disturb is us.

Kyler was 18 months when I took him. However, I knew from home experience that he would sit and watch an entire movie.

I haven't taken Delaney yet. Nothing seems to hold her attention for THAT long yet.

Brianna will be three soon and we haven't taken her yet as she very rarely sits all the way through a movie at home. We are thinking of trying her soon.

Drew was 3 and did pretty well. Ally was almost 4 and I may NEVER take her to another movie! I think we spent most of our time in the bathroom! (Or rather Rick did since he decided to try it while I was out of town! ) She just doesn't sit still for long periods very well yet. Different kids act differently.

Probably 2. They lost interest pretty quick.
