Finally, I brought my kid to his first movie in a cinema! Well, it's really long delay as I should have brought him earlier but however, due to my baby daughter, we have to arrange for a babysitter where finally I got my sis-in-law to look after her. Thus, my kid, wifey and myself hit the cinema together for the first time. I used to watch a lot ofr movies with my wife before we have our kids then, but that's history!
I was observing him while on the way to the cinema and he really shows glimpses of anxieties as well as excitement. The first complaint from him is the cinema is too dark! And, my wife gotta keep on pacifying him and assured him that everything's ok. His second problem, the flip chair always caused him to slip down as he's too light and finally, he sat on my wifey's lap where he felt most comfortable and also, assured.
Then, halfway , said about an hour, he wanted to go home and complaining the movie was too long. Again, we have to pacify him that the movie is ending soon and my wife tried to keep him focused by explaining on what's happening at the show during that time.
Phew...when the lights up, he seems relieved, though he enjoyed the movie and had some good laughs! He actuaqlly told us that he's not comfortable with the dark settings at the cinema but would like to go for another movie some other time.
Kungfu Panda 2.... we're waiting!!

Goody . Glad he didnt insist going home or something like that
ReplyDeletehahaha.... so fast training him to watch movies already? yeah, kids are afraid of dark..
ReplyDeletesmallkucing - He did.... but we try to make him stayed. And, don;t mentioned about the toilet visits!
ReplyDeleteclap clap! Bravo to ur boy! How come he is too light for the seat? Ethan can seat without slipping oso.. (maybe Ethan has heavy bones!) :P
ReplyDeleteA tip for you. Always show the trailer of the movie you gonna bring him to watch before actually going for that movie. I do that with Ethan so he knows what to expect! With RIO, he was excited to see the ball hit the lady's backside! lol!
ReplyDeletereanaclaire - yeah sis. Not late la..he's already six. It's time!
ReplyDeleteMerryn - ok, good idea. Will show him the trailer first next time!
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe he didn't sit properly la...or not used to the chair.
Mine's so long ago, can hardly remember - I do recall buying lots of things for her to eat...and she did want to go to the toilet once or twice....and I had to give a running commentary as to what was going on in the movie.
ReplyDeleteEverything has a first, be patient... sure one day your kid will used to it and who knows, he'd be the one who pester you to the cinema in the future :P
ReplyDeleteaiyo! maybe u shud try how Merryn did to Ethan! :D haha i love that movie!! had a good laugh too! :p
