Cara's first trip to the cinema

I heard about a free cinema screening of In the Night Garden, and so applied for tickets. The showing was this morning. We got tickets for me, Andrew and Cara. It was great to see so many children at the cinema, and everyone enjoyed the show. We watched 2 new episodes of In the Night Garden from the new Tombliboos DVD that is coming out on Monday. All the kids got a free goody bag after the show, and one lucky one got a box full of In the Night Garden toys.

I wasn't sure what would be in these goody bags, and I was very surprised. Cara got an Igglepiggle toy, a DVD of In the Night Garden, and CBeebies goodies, such as a mouse mat and sticky notes. I was impressed. All this for free.

It was fun to be in the cinema together. Cara liked the lights in the ceiling and would point to the screen saying 'Tee', which is what she calls the TV. A lot of the kids were clapping at one point too, which Cara joined in with.. and she laughed a lot when the Tombliboos were going really fast in the Ninky Nonk and their trousers fell off. It's a weird show!
