Battling Yoda and diaper flaps at the same time

They post all the links so that everyone can enjoy each other’s post on the topic. And today the topic is… activities for a mom’s rookie year.
A flashback to my own rookie year:
When Holden was only two weeks old, he went to his first movie in San Francsico. My mom and Alec were there so we had a 3 adult to 1 baby ratio that I found very comforting. I furiously Purelled after touching anything at all and we otherwise enjoyed Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith until the last big scene…
2 week old going to the cinema
During a fight sequence between soon-to-be-Darth-Vader and nimble-and-feisty-Yoda, my little baby had a massive diaper blast. Luckily, being an over-prepared new mom, I had a full change of clothes for him, so I struggled a bit but managed to change him in the back of the theatre so I could still watch. Bad behavior, but I was too clueless to know.
Snuggled in to watch Batman at 10 weeks
Going to the movies with Holden was an almost-weekly occurrence. I went to a few mid-day matinees with mom friends and dozens of night-time movies with Alec as part of Baby Brigade. Holden saw Brokeback Mountain, Batman Begins, and Transamerica while Alec and I enjoyed the pizza and beer at the Parkway theater in the company of other sleep-deprived new parents so grateful to be out and about.
The first 2 were rocky (constant shushing and bouncing in the corner with periodic screams), but then we got into a real groove. I wrote up a checklist of items to pack for his eating and sleeping comfort. We had a regular nighttime routine going for the movie nights and Holden would usually oblige by falling asleep within the first 20 minutes.
