movies and babies don't mix!

I decided today I would take Gavin and Magnus to see the new Shrek movie. I had a gift card to Wehrenberg theatre that would cover the cost of the tickets so it would be a free day of fun for us. Oh it was a hug disaster!!! I am so glad I did not pay actual money for those tickets I got to see five minutes of the movie and Magnus decided what he had to talk about was may more interesting than Shrek. At first it was just his usual babbling and was being very quiet so I was whispering back to him. Then he decided he needed to be "heard" by everyone and started doing his baby scream.I jumped up from my seat and tried to calm him down but no luck so I went outside the theater door and told Gavin to stay put and watch his movie. Once we were outside the theatre door Magnus quieted down and wanted to get down and crawl around. I let him do this for a bit and then picked him back up and went to check on Gavin..who decided that sitting in the aisle was way more fun than sitting in his seat. I put him back and Magnus started "singing" to the music..lots of "shhh and be quiets" from the crowd so back out the door I went and i just opened the door periodically to check on Gavin. Magnus was so not ok with this he wanted to get down and crawl all over the theatre..no no no..this floor is yucky no crawling on it. To this he screamed his dissaprovel for all to hear. Did I mention that Magnus throws fits now? Yeah they learn that early when they have an older sibling to teach them how..he puts his whole body on the floor and kicks and screams until he gets what he wants.Usually at home I just ignore the temper tantrum until he calms down but in a theatre this is not so easy to do..sooo back out the door we went. I spent the entire movie in outside the door and just peaked in at Gavin to make sure he was ok..I will not be making this mistake again..next time Magnus stays home with daddy or we don't go to the theatre..consider this Lesson learned. It's so odd because Gavin was never like this. He has always been able to sit still during a performance. I remember when he was two and half Phillip got tickets to the Fox to see CATS and we had seats right up front by the orchestra..the other people looked upset that we had such a young child with us but Gavin sat in my lap through the entire production and made not one single peep. I did not think this was odd for a toddler but the people around us were very impressed that he didn't make a whole lot of noise. I remember one older couple made it a point to tell us how well behaved he was and I was like "well yeah what did you expect him to make a fuss and throw a fit?"..now I understand that Gavin was uncommonly good during that production most children his age would have lost patience with it and been antsy and yes even have thrown a fit to leave...just like Magnus..who I have to keep reminding myself is a NORMAL child and Gavin is exceptional in that regard. Two more different children could not exist in the same house..lol. Yet Magnus will sit quietly and be read too and Gavin wants to ask a million and one questions during the story..go figure.
