KidSoup went along to the Mothers and Baby screening at The Lexi Cinema, London held every Monday at 11am.

They show a great range of current films and thankfully no sign of Cinderella 3. The staff are understanding and listen to any requests for the volume of the cinema sound system to be lowered to protect young ears. They can even revert to subtitles during the naughty bits – very interactive!

Check out this dancing Daddy and his tango Twins.

Good going Roger Federer. Rather than touting around pictures of his new Baby girl twins to the magazines for a few million dollars he has got his Dad to take the snaps and share them with his 2.5 million + Facebook fans.

We think this ad rocks, but right now our Kids don’t understand CGI techniques so they are attempting these moves themselves. They think it’s all real. Time to buy a helmet.
