This last Saturday we took Frances to her first movie. Well okay, we went to the drive in and she didn't watch the movies but she still had a great time.
It was a nice evening so before the movies started we pulled out the lawn chairs and sat outside for a while. Frances had a blast watching all the people and looking at her new and strange surroundings. She was so very excited. It was like she knew that she was going to stay up past her bed time.
It got a little chilly so we went inside the car. Frances loved that too. She is always stuck in her car seat when she is in the car but that night she got to crawl around in the front seat. About halfway through the first movie, she finally fell asleep on Arial's lap.
The plan had been to put her in her car seat to sleep. So, at intermission Arial transfered her back into her seat.
That lasted five minutes.
It turns out that she likes to sleep on her stomache (which we knew). She found out that it is hard to roll over to your stomach in a car seat and once you get there, it isn't very comfortable. That woke her up.
Arial had to hold her the rest of the evening (until we strapped her in to go home). Arial said she didn't mind. I hope that was true.
Frances had a hard time getting back to sleep when we got home. We think she wanted to be held all night. But when she did get to sleep she slept until 9:30 so that made up for it some.
Incidentally, we saw Mr and Mrs. Smith and Star Wars III. Both were entertaining and it was a good evening.
