Let's Go to the Movies

I have always liked going to the movies. Unfortunately, it is not something that I get to do very often. Now having Josh, it is even harder to be able to go. My cousin, Jeni, is on winter break this week, so she asked if Josh and I wanted to go with her and Maya to the movies. Maya is 2 years old, so we went to see the kiddie movie, Enchanted. The key to bringing a baby to a movie is timing. My plan was to change the baby in the bathroom, and then sit down at my seat, put on my nursing cover, and feed Josh during the first part of the movie and have him nap for the second part of the move, and then change him when the movie was over. What you need to know about babies, and I have learned is that they don't really like to stick to a plan. The first part of the plan - changing his diaper - the movie theater bathroom does not have a baby changing station. OK, plan B, change him on the floor on his changing pad. Yuk. The second part of the plan - feeding Josh during the movie - Josh didn't really want to wait until we got settled in our seats, and he started to fuss a little bit. However, I did feed him, and then put him back in his car seat, and he was calm and quiet for the first half of the movie. Then, I heard the explosion. Ut oh, Josh pooped and now he is starting to fuss and wants to be changed. I walked to the back of the theater where there were no people and changed him on the floor there. This was a carpeted area, so I think it ended up being better than the bathroom floor. After, I changed his diaper, Josh was quiet and took a nap for the rest of the movie. It was a cute movie, and I would try to do that again, but being able to take Josh anywhere at any time is slowly diminishing.
