We took Tyler to his first real movie this evening. We have been wanting to do this for a few months now but haven’t been sure how he would handle sitting still in the dark for 90 minutes. This evening we decided to take the plunge and find out.

We went to go see Disney’s Valiant and was pleasantly surprised to find that Tyler was a near perfect angel through the whole thing. He sat down in his own chair with his feet barely reaching the end of the seat. He had a little bag of popcorn in between his legs and his eyes were riveted to the screen while he continually shoved popcorn into his mouth.

Halfway through the movie he wanted to sit with Daddy so I held him in my lap for the remainder of the show. Near the end he did get a little tired and wanted to get down but he never looked away from the screen and was perfectly quiet and behaved until the very end.

Much to our surprise Jillian also watched the movie throughout the whole show as well.

All in all, I think it was a successful outing and something we’ll repeat at some point in the future.
