Dinner and a Movie
Geoff and I managed to kind of have a date today - with Briony in tow.Of course, it's all different now that we have her around... After lunch, we packed up and headed over to Polo Park for Stars & Strollers and saw 'Duplicity' (fun movie, in a romantic comedy / spy kind of way, which is pretty much the definition of fun in my books). Then we stopped for groceries, and came home to unload them and feed Briony. Then it was back in the car and out for an early dinner. More of 'a movie and dinner' than 'dinner and a movie' but whatever. We were never really fans of the 'dinner and a movie' date anyway :)
As a side note, if you have a baby and you haven't already checked out a Stars & Strollers movie, I totally recommend it. The movies they show are at a lower volume than usual and they keep the lights dimmed instead of off. Other than that, it's a normal movie (assuming you can block out the strange goat-like noises of other people's kids... hehe). They're even kind enough to set up a change station right outside the entrance to your theatre, stocked with wipes and disinfectant and diapers in every size. Kind of a brilliant way to get out of the house during a Winnipeg winter. And my god, was it ever winter today!
Anyway. I've taken Briony to three so far, and they've all gone pretty well. When she was tiny, she slept right through the entire adventure... The last two times, she's had naps - but when she's awake, she's pretty much enthralled by the giant screen. Parent of the year, I know...

That sounds great, thanks for the tip! Looking forward to checking it out some day soon.
I managed to get to a couple when the girls were babies and it was fantastic!
St. Vital doesn't do that change station outside the theatre, I don't think... maybe I need to switch to Polo Park. :)
