Sesame Street Live

Saturday we took Owen to see "Sesame Street Live: Super Grover, Ready for Action!" We weren't sure how he would do but decided we'd give it a try anyway. We got to our seats (which were great--11th row floor!) about 20 minutes before the show started. Thankfully, our child was not the only one who couldn't sit still for that long! So we walked around with him a bit but then even that wasn't working. So Cody went and bought a few souveniers, which were very expensive but I guess well worth it, and those kept him happy for a while. He was crying right before the show started and then the characters came out and his face just lit up! He was so excited!

Here he is when they first came out on stage. The transformation from crying to ecstatic was just pricless for Cody and me.

He kept pointing to the stage and saying, "Oh! There's Elmo! Oh! There's Grover! Oh! There's Big Bird" etc. He was so excited he could hardly stand it!
Here he is clapping. After each song he would clap and say, "Yaaaaayyyy!!!!"

He did get a little restless since it was a 90 minute show with a 15 minute intermission but overall, he did pretty well. A couple of times he tried to run up to the stage with the characters! We're looking forward to taking him in a year or two when he will really understand it.

Last night I got ready to put his jammies on him and took all his clothes off. He ran into the dining room where his Elmo shirt was that we bought him that day and brought it to me. So I told him he could put it on for a little bit before he put his jammies on. He wore it around the house in his diaper and kept pointing to the sign on it saying, "Street! Street!"

Here he is in his t-shirt and looking at his program we got him. This is also what he's doing in the video that follows this post.

I told him it was time to take the shirt off so he could put his jammies on and he just started weeping! So, needless to say, he slept it in last night and then he's still wearing it today! I'd say he's a Sesame Street kid just like his mama! (I even tried to find my Sesame Street watch that I got when I was about 3 or 4 to wear it to the show and I couldn't find it! I'll have to hunt some more! Yes, it does still fit if I wear on the very last hole!)
