On Father's Day, we took Norrin to see How to Train Your Dragon 2 (in 3D!) and he really enjoyed it. We all did! Well...there was one scene Joseph wasn't fond of especially since it was Father's Day (don't worry - no spoilers here!). He's getting so much better at sitting through a movie, keeping his glasses on, whispering when he wants me to pass the popcorn and just being okay with sitting in the dark. There was a time we couldn't go to a movie. Even the first sensory screening was a challenge. But it was okay there - people understood and no one judged. It was because of the sensory screenings, that we are able to go to the movies as a family whenever we want.
