Could either of you have changed seats?
Either way, I don't think it's really appropriate to take someone disruptive to that kind of event if it disturbs the people around them. I'm pretty sure that one of these days Mrs. Bownesian and I will bring our twins to a Flames game (an analogous situation). If the people in our section can't handle a little bit of infant "cheering", I'll be disappointed as it's fine to talk and make noise in the 'Dome but I wouldn't take them to a regular movie showing on a weekend or to the symphony or to a play where the audience has a reasonable expectation to not be disturbed.
For the movies, there are alternatives, including the Stars and Strollers afternoon showings, where moms (and Dads) and babies are encouraged to watch a movie where it's ok for the kids to make noise. That would have been a much more appropriate venue because silence isn't what everyone's expecting.
