...can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
I managed to drag my sorry, sick body out of bed, get the kids ready, drive down to Minneapolis, and take them to see Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music. It was worth all the strength I had to muster to get there. Ella absolutley LOVED it. I wish I had a pic to post of her while she was at the show...but with 2 kids, a daiper bag, a purse, and a tummy full of naseau, I just couldn't carry one more thing.
The show was fantastic, even I enjoyed it. It is just so fun to see those characters come to life right before your eyes and to see it through the eyes of a two year old. The lights when down and the stage lit up...all of a sudden Elmo, Bert, Ernie, Grover, Zoe, Cookie Moster, and all of the other characters came running out onto the stage, singing and dancing. Ella's first expression was one of confusion and of being a little concerned. I felt like she was thinking "hmmm, how did they get out of the the tv and onto that stage??" She was just mesmerized by it all.
Now, for those of you who don't know Ella, she's a quiet and reserved girl outside of this house. It takes her a little while to warm up and get comfortable with her new surroundings. Well, this girl was out of her seat, dancing to the songs, and even singing along! Big Bird would say "c'mon everyone tweet with me" and Ella would start tweeting. It was so cute to see those little eyes get big and light up with excitment.
Ben had a great time too. Although he wasn't as excited to see Big Bird and Cookie Monster, he did love seeing all those kids. The moving lights proved to be interesting as well, although towards the end I had to turn him around to look at me as he was starting to get a little over-stimulated I think.
It was a wonderful day spent with my kids. It's too bad Daddy was in Tx as he would have enjoyed it too. And thankfully it helped give me something else to focus on other than that fact that I just wanted to throw-up and go to sleep. Thanks Elmo!
