Don't let Kolden eat popcorn - Where's the binky?

Because Kolden is teething the binky is extremely important! Kolden is getting very good at eating baby food, but still has some trouble with baby puffs. Lately Kolden has become very aware of when others are eating and he wants what ever you have. He even whines like a puppy to let you know when he is wanting what you have, it is really cute!
Our family decided to go to the $2 movie as part of our holiday celebration and Aunt Karla bought some popcorn to share with us. I was holding Kolden and I often had the bucket of popcorn as it was passed from people on one side to the other. Kolden had his binky and it was dark in the theatre. At one point I was getting into the movie and ended up holding the bucket of popcorn. All of a sudden Kolden lunges at it and grabs it with both hands and howls for the popcorn. In this process the binky falls from his mouth into the dark abyss of the theatre floor.
With the help of my sister we pry the bucket of popcorn away from Kolden and I am madly searching the floor for the binky so I can mute my little man. I whisper loudly to Kade, "Binky Down!" and he promptly begins searching the floor with me. Neither of us have any luck and I just have to stand up and start bouncing Kolden to try and quiet him. Poor Kolden's efforts for popcorn were thwarted by mean mom and now the binky is lost!
Kolden is distracted for a while by the bouncing and then starts laughing and happily yelling out "ma, ma, ma, ma, ma". I have to take him out of the movie so I go wash my hands and try substituting my finger for the binky. It works for a while so I sneak back in the theatre with Kolden sucking on my finger and try to find the binky in the rows before and after us with absolutely no luck. I even attempt this crouched down as my sister holds her cell phone for light and still no luck.
After missing chunks of the movie because of taking Kolden in the hall when he has become tired of my finger, I finally get him to sleep. I go into the theatre one last time to see the end. At the end of the movie we start gathering children and things to go and.......... lo and behold - there is the BINKY!!!!!! It had fallen right into the diaper bag! How ironic and retrospectively funny. Don't you just hate it when you loose the binky in the dark of a theatre only to find it safe and clean in the diaper bag at the end of the film!?! So, in conclusion, don't let Kolden eat popcorn yet and look for the binky in the diaper bag next time it falls out of his mouth in the dark.
