Sesame Street Live

On Saturday we took Evelina to see Sesame Street Live at the Agganis Arena in Boston, as an early birthday present since the theme of her 2nd birthday party is Elmo/Sesame Street.  We weren't really sure how it would go, seeing large versions of characters, sitting through a 90-minute show, dealing with crowds/lots of people.  Luckily, she LOVED it!!  She was a little fidgety and didn't want to sit through much of the show but she LOVED it!!  

Before the show started we went into the play zone that was set-up and while we were there, Ernie, Cookie Monster and Rosita came out to sing and dance.  As soon as she saw them she was shouting out their names, putting her hand out to touch them, showing no fear.  It was so adorable.  I don't think she could believe her eyes.  I was proud of my little one for not being afraid of such large versions of the beloved characters or shying away from them when they came to greet her.  

Once the actual show started, she sat on our laps for a little bit, but for the most part, she was more interested in running up toward the stage (we had floor seats) to get a closer look at everyone.  We even got a visit from Grover which was fun.  I can only imagine what was going on in her head.  Of course, every time Elmo was on stage she would shout and point.  Clearly, the highlight of the show for her.  

Chris definitely got in a nice workout chasing Evelina around the place.  He earned his best Papa/hubbie award for the week that's for sure.  All in all, it was a  fun time and I would definitely attend again.  It is fun to see how Evelina reacts in new situations and to see how much joy the little things bring her. 

PS:  I totally suck at taking pictures of an active child.  Hence, why we don't have many these days.
