We never really planned it but we got tempted to take Boz to the theater to watch Spider-man last night after some prodding from him for us to download the movie so he could watch it. Miki was all excited so I tried to dampen it a bit by sharing with him the experience of an officemate with one of her daughters. Jellie was already three and a half then but quite petite for her age so they got held up at the ticket booth by the moviehouse manager. The mom was asked to sign a waiver giving the management the right to ask them to leave the theater should the child be a nuisance of sorts. Geesh! Made Miki think twice about the whole first theater experience thing. Made me laugh inside, LOL!
But we did it anyway. So when Miki got home from work, we freshened up a bit and headed for the theater. We bought tickets to the 7:05 movie schedule, bought some food and headed for the movies.
Boz was never really afraid of the dark so entering the theater didn't give him the chills. We entered the theaters just in time for the rolling of the credits and people vacating their seats. We were able to seat ourselves comfortably in the middle row with Boz seated between Miki and me. He was very quiet, marveling at the very very big TV he's ever seen in his entire life. He just sat there, very still, eyes wandering around the theater, asking if there was also a movie inside that room where the light was coming from. And when the movie trailers played, he watched intently, only asking a question or two.
After a while, he got sleepy. He dozed off, his body curled inside his jacket but he woke up just right before the movie started. For three-fourths length of the movie I forgot I was watching it with my 2.11 year old son. A few times, he asked questions about the Sandman, Harry and Spider-man. Also he would relate some of the scenes to his toys or some event he could think of. We tried to hush him down when he got a bit excited so we don't bother the other viewers. Other than the occasional Q & A Boz watched the movie like he understood every bit of it.
All in all, it was great! Hay...I just love my son!
