Last week Husband and I took the kids into Kingston town centre for a cinema trip. But not just any cinema trip – it was Dubz’s first time. At three and a half, my boy is only starting to calm down and actually sit for movies. So we took him and Moozles to see Hotel Transylvania 2. Dubz was so good, and apart from asking a few questions during the movie, he sat quite quietly. I don’t think any parent likes the idea of their baby growing up. But Dubz is no longer a baby. He has been showing me in so many ways these past few months. It hurts my heart a bit. But it also makes me very happy, and I am filled with so much pride for my little boy.
Good for him for getting through the cinema. I’ve still not taken N (he’s nearly 5), although he did go to see Peppa Pig with his best friend’s parents. He will now watch a 1.5 hour film, but I worry that the trailers will lengthen films even more.
Hotel Transylvania 2 was only 90 minutes. I was worried about the trailers too, but since it was the kids club they were only 10 minutes long.
What an amazing installation in the middle of Kingston!
Their growing up is bitter sweet isn’t it?! Time goes too quickly!
Happy New Year

Those phone boxes are brilliant! Dubz did well doing a cimena trip at 3.5 – with our oldest he was 5.5 before he was able to sit through an entire film at home, never mind the cinema!
My boy doesn’t tend to sit for films at home, probably the distractions of toys. So I was surprised he managed about 100 minutes.
I remember those phone boxes well from when I used to work in Kingston. We have one here at Coombe Mill but it is upright and still in use.
Wow, so cool that you have one at Coombe Mill!
Aww Dubz did amazingly sitting through a film, I can’t imagine my boy sitting through anything until he’s much older than that! Love those telephone boxes in Kingston! x
What a cool photo! I’m glad you guys had fun at the movies. I want to see Hotel Transylvania 2, hah. I hope you guys had a great weekend!
I haven’t seen Hotel Transylvania 2, and I don’t know why I haven’t seen it!? I probably should.. btw, I love those phone booths! Can you get inside one of them, at least on the one standing up? :>
Happy New Year! ♥
The photo booths are so cool. Sadly, you can’t get in any of them. Happy new year!
Well done you and your little man! I haven’t taken Ethan to the cinema yet only because I haven’t had a chance to as I also needed to take Evelyn too, but she is still too young for that. We been to a panto when Evelyn was still on the sling and that was last year. They both enjoyed it very much so. I hope your little man enjoys it too. The telephone boxes on the photo looks awesome! #MySundayPhoto x
We’ve been taking turns taking our daughter to the cinema, so it’s nice to finally be able to go as a family! x
Well done little man. Aly went to see this film and loved it. Hope he had fun
Happy New Year

Z loved Hotel Transylvania. It looks like you’ve have a brilliant break over Christmas. I need to see those phone boxes live!

Those phone boxes look fantastic…
It sounds like the cinema went so well x
I love the phoneboxes! He did really well sitting still for so long. I don’t think I was that brave, mine were definitely older.
I love those phone boxes. I must check them out sometime. Good on you for letting your son find his feet.
I remember these phone boxes so well as I grew up in Kingston! #MySundayPhoto
Oh, did you? We’ve only been here for a few years but really like it!
Oh I love your blog because it makes feel all kinds of nostalgic. Thanks for the memories x
Aww, thanks Donna! We should have a blogger meet-up in Kingston! x

I love the cool phone boxes, it is lovely when they get a bit more calmer and easier to manage doing stuff out of the home. Happy new year X #MySundayPhoto
Oh my God those phone boxes are truly awesome. I still remember taking Aaron to the cinema for the first time and being thrilled that he sat through the whole film (minus a toilet break).
