Today, something totally amazing happened, something that i didn't think would happen for many a year. As i have frequently written about, Bean is not a film fan. He struggles to watch anything new and is over sensitive to the dramatic music and any slight stress in the story line. Film nights are spent watching the same three movies and any new show is viewed from behind a blanket with the volume being turned on and off and the pause button in frequent use. We have always been very calm about this although maybe sometimes expressed our desire to watch something else or suggest something new. And then...Thursday Bean mentioned a film he had seen advertised called 'Disney Planes' and it looked like Cars and he would like to see it! I honestly didn't think that we would make it to the cinema. i explained how films are released at the cinema and then you have to wait for the dvd. And his response? 'I want to see it at the cinema'. Still cautious we talked about what the cinema is like. And all was still fine, so we booked tickets. And today, we all went to the cinema together to watch 'Planes.' And it was great. I may have sightly over planned. We talked about adverts and trailers and darkness and loudness and other people. We got their early enough to get ourselves a box and we took glow sticks to wear around our wrists and, of course, we had popcorn. The boys took cuddly toys to watch too but it was all okay. no tears, no need to leave. at one point Bean had his feet up on the railings, totally relaxed, no fingers in his ears, munching popcorn and laughing at the film. excellent afternoon out.
And this was followed by a trip to a local farm to collect Alex and Sticky/Charlie (undecided) the guniea pigs who are now resident in our garden.
