Today we took a big step in the will this be a success or total failure journey that is taking your children out in public!

We decided we were going to take Esme to our local small cinema (like 50 seats at most) to see her first ever disney film, the live action dumbo.

All week I’ve been thinking will she get bored? Will she run riot and p*ss everyone off? Will she scream the place down until we are forced to leave £12 less and no movie!? Or will she be a Saint and sit through the whole thing?

So after worrying all week I can now confirm the worry is over and….. She was a Saint!(this is where there should be fireworks and faboulus dancing).

We had abit of trouble in the beginning she did run round and didn’t want to sit down while there was nothing on the screen (she also tried to steal a little girls shoes) but as soon as the movie started she was GLUED (praise the gods) she sat quietly (apart from a rendition of row row row your boat half way through) and she loved the film she laughed, clapped, cheered and fell asleep at the emotional ending but she loved it, I loved it and overall we had a lovely time!

We have figured out she will sit through alot of things as long as there is food!

So we didn’t have to leave in shame and I will be definitely taking her again as I know have a legit excuse to go see the new disney films 😂😍 next stop Aladdin…
