There just hasn't been a movie that seemed appropriate enough for her, since she gets scared easily and won't even sit through Tangled at home. 30 minute shows are still the best for her, but I know some of her school friends go to movies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-lo-to-the-movies-for-the-first-time#post-667591 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:39:20 +0000 DillonLion 667591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took her to some Cry Baby Matinee movies when I was on my maternity leave. She was a month old and 2 months old. It was fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-lo-to-the-movies-for-the-first-time#post-667588 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:38:39 +0000 prettylizy 667588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: stars and strollers FTW!!!</p> <p>We did the same, brought her to the baby friendly movies a few times. DH even snuck out of the office one afternoon while I had a hair appt and took LO to see that Will Ferrell movie (The Campaign?). I liked that it wasn't just kiddo movies too. She was so little she mostly slept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-lo-to-the-movies-for-the-first-time#post-667573 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:35:35 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 667573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when he was 8 days old! But we have movie theatres here that play movies with the sound lowered, lights are dim, a change table is provided, and crying babies are acceptable. So I go every wednesday afternoon with him. In the beginning, he would sleep the whole time, now he sleeps part of it, then i put him in the baby bjorn carrier and am able to watch the movie while standing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-lo-to-the-movies-for-the-first-time#post-667569 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:34:05 +0000 Mrs. Bee 667569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>charlie is 3.3 and i think he could sit through a short movie, but we probably wouldn't take him until next summer? when he's 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-lo-to-the-movies-for-the-first-time#post-667553 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:31:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 667553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are some free summer movies that maybe you could try. That way if you had to leave early it wouldn't be a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-take-your-lo-to-the-movies-for-the-first-time#post-667348 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:38:53 +0000 Honeybee 667348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents keep pressuring us to take DD to the movies, but I think we're going to wait another year or so until she's closer to 4. She won't even sit through a whole movie at home right now! </p>
