About two months ago we spent $125 on tickets to go to Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music, for when they were in town this past weekend. $125. Talk about a gamble! Shane has never been to any type of event before because he's not exactly your "model toddler"! He can barely sit still long enough to eat breakfast, let alone a 90 minute show! But, we figured if he was going to sit still for anything, it would be for Elmo. We also knew we were going to have to attempt this sooner or later - so we went for it!
75 minutes and an additional $60 on souvniers later, and we're happy to report that it actually went amazingly well! We started to lose him towards the end, and did leave two songs early, but he did really great! And I think if he had that nap Chris and I tried SO hard for him to take, he would've done even better!
But he loved every minute of it! He clapped and pointed and smiled and danced - totally worth every cent! Actually, it was priceless!
Here are some quick snapshots from Grandma's point-and-shoot that I borrowed for the event! We all had a blast and are keeping our eyes out for a visit from The Wiggles!
In the arena before the show started. Shane's still a little confused at this point!
Standing at his seat waiting for Elmo to start. Notice he's thumbing through his $7 program - one of many souveniers from the day!
We call this the "deer in headlights shot" - he just can't believe what's going on!
The stage setup. Bert was the first one to come out!
ELMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elmo, Elmo, Elmo, Elmo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He refused to look at me for a picture. Wouldn't take his eyes off the stage!
Elmo, Cookie, Zoe, Telly Monster and Grover!
We really did have such a fantastic time and we can't wait to do something like this again!
