So our kid-friendly cultural intake has taken a dive since LilyJ's mom moved to Cambodia. She just knew when cool things were happening and always seemed ok with us always tagging along. But yesterday morning, when Sophie got mommy up at 5am again, it did afford me the opportunity to read some of the newspaper. This was when I read that "Knuffle Bunny: The Musical" was playing nearby - in fact, ending its run the very next day. Unbelievably I was able to snag the very last two tickets - probably the only benefit to being up at 5am on a Saturday. So G and I got to go this afternoon. Here she is taking in the awesomeness of that really big-deal arts center in our town - you know what I'm talking about.
The family theater is quite small - every seat was good, but being a little further from the stage protected us from any Disney Princesses on Ice-type disasters you might recall.
The little girl next to us was named Elly Jane and her mother kept begging her to take off the beret. And the fur vest. Begging. It was quite funny to eavesdrop on.
What can we say, it was very exciting before the curtain went up.
The show was good - G was a little put off by Trixie's extended crying scene and made the move from her own seat (the one that kept flapping up because she is still too small to hold down a seat by herself) and into my lap. All the better for my blubbering when the Dad sang "Really, Really Love You" - I could hide behind her hair when I was tearing up. Afterwards we walked around the place and Georgia admired the large hall and all the red carpeting.
Our first real trip to the theater was a success. Tonight at dinner she actually said her highlight of the day was the play, which is a big deal since she usually makes up something that didn't actually happen and then tells us that was her highlight. I'm counting this as a big success!
