When I take Dylan to the cinema I often see parents bringing younger children, sometimes even babies. Noise doesn't seem to be an issue, it's even somewhat expected within reason when you're watching a kiddie friendly cartoon movie such as 'Cars', which Dylan wanted to go and see this week.
So anyway, I decided that maybe Harry would enjoy going. He'd never been before and I was rather in two minds about whether he'd enjoy it. On the one hand the other children who go to these things seem to enjoy it, and if you put a DVD on in the car he'll sit fixated and watch it for long periods of time........ but on the other, well...... he's Harry.... y'know?
Anyway, it was, indeed, a HUGE MISTAKE. He sat still and ate popcorn for the trailers and then when the movie started proceeded to make noise, struggle, get down from his seat, and ended up RUNNING around the ENTIRE CINEMA for 2 HOURS NON STOP, with me behind him. Absolutely bloody awful........ he is not going again for at least 3 years!
