As summer is coming to a close last night I decided Dylan and I would have date night at the drive in watching Disney's Planes.
We spent two hours talking about what was going to happen.
-time of departure
-the town we were going to
-the length of the drive
-the importance of staying in our seat belt
-what to do if your stomach starts to feel funny
-what a drive in was
-the lines at the concession stand
-that we would stay in the car
We made the 50 minute drive without getting car sick.
We made it to the parking spot with zero issues.
Then the infamous line.
We danced at the begining.
She spun in the middle.
Here is where the greatest find of our adventure came for me.
What's the best way to keep your child from getting distracted and running off while you do things like get popcorn and drinks?
A free ride for Dylan on Mommy's foot.
Dylan was very friendly and wanted to speak to everyone.
I still find myself getting frustrated when people choose to ignore her.
We made it back to the car with our large popcorn (dylan insisted) and soda to wait for the movie.
The front seat might have been a little to much for her with all the button options but once the movie actually started she was glued. She knew the storyline, the characters, and the ending before it all happened (thanks trailers). She loved the fact that should could control the volume of the movie, talk to me as much as she wanted, and could move around the entire time without disturbing anyone else.
Which also allowed me to enjoy the movie without worried about what some jerk two rows back might say.
We ended the movie with her being a monkey on my back as the movie ended.
The car ride home resulted in a sleeping girl which then gave me 20 minutes of pure silence.
I am so in love with last night. I wish I could have recorded it to replay over and over again.
