And now, finally, the post that prompted the last 3 posts. Elmo 1-2-3 Imagine! Whoo hoo! So exciting... sort of. Emma & TJ were very excited to go see Elmo. Even Mikayla was into it, as she still will watch Sesame Street with the little ones on occasion and she loves to go see any kind of show anyway.
So we went to see Elmo. Emma enjoyed the first half of the show but, true to form, got moody after the intermission telling me she wanted to leave and that she had already seen Elmo. But then they opened with an actual "Elmo's World" segment and that made everything better. She loves that part of the show. TJ loved the whole thing and was clapping and singing along, as was Mikayla which was funny to see.
The kids were each allowed one souvenir and, funny enough, they all wanted the same thing ~ binoculars! So Karen bought 3 pairs of overpriced plastic Elmo binoculars. They were a hit. Especially since I had bought us seats up in the nosebleed section! They loved using the binoculars to see the characters close up though. And they loved the stairs. That's how we spent our intermission... on the stairs. I stood at the top (to keep them from tearing off down the hallway) and Karen stood at the bottom (to catch potential trippers) and we just let them go. I think that giant staircase might have been one of the highlights of the day. All in all, it was a cute show and a fun weekend with the kids. It might not have been Tony Award worthy, but they liked it none the less and I love taking my girl out to try new things.
