Movies for Parents and Babies

I finally made it to the cinema to see a movie with Margot. Based on my experience I’ve come up with this set up rules:

Rule 1: Bring at least three bottles of water to mix with formula – I brought two and Margot seemed a bit antsy.
Rule 2: Bring a couple of jars of food. Plan on 50% of the food in your baby’s mouth and 50% on your shirt or pants.
Rule 3: Wear bummy clothes (see rule 2).
Rule 4: Learn to like walking around the cinema.
Rule 5: Whenever an infant in the cinema cries and interrupts the film pretend it’s a special effect.
Rule 6: If possible, don’t bring too much stuff. You’ll just trip over everything anyways.
Rule 7: Pick a lousy movie to go see; the type of movie you’d rent at the video store when the movie you really want is already rented. I saw Just Go With It – Adam Sandler’s latest tour de force.
Rule 8: Only get popcorn if your idea of a valuable purchase is pouring food all over the floor (see rule 6).
Rule 9: Laugh at the experience when it’s all over!

I can't wait to do it again!
