We just took Jeremy to his first movie,
Winnie the Pooh! This new version of Winnie the Pooh is old-fashioned animation (i.e. no Pixar, 3D, etc.) They combined several of the Winnie the Pooh stories into a quasi new one. It was funny, clever, and adorable and appealed to Jeremy and his parents! We went to Loews in Cherry Hill, where it turns out they have a stack of booster seats right outside the theater door. Same at United Artists Riverview on Columbus Boulevard (although not my favorite theater.) It played at several times so we went at 4:50 after his nap. Lots of children were attending their first movie! The movie was only 69 minutes and Jeremy sat very still -- he loved it and watched it very closely. During the previews he kept asking, "Is this the movie?" The next day he recapped the story for us and told us his favorite parts. After the movie we went to a very child-friendly diner, as many are! Right next to the theater is
Silver City Diner. Upon entering, every child receives a colorful cardboard car (which we quickly learned how to reassemble). The menus (for children and adults) include many healthy and organic farm-to-table options. Jeremy's grilled cheese came with strawberries! The service was quick. We bought a song on the juke box for a quarter (Sesame Street) and we were in and out before it even came on! A very successful adventure and so exciting to watch Jeremy watch his first movie!

Winnie the Pooh, what an excellent choice for his very first movie! Always a favorite of mine too. Sounds like a perfect outing, complete with a meal in a good, ole diner too. A classic combination.
