Do you remember seeing Sesame Street Live when you were a child? Well, my brother Nick and I do, and even though we couldn't have been older than five, it is a childhood memory that we both cherish. With that said, Nick and I wanted to share that experience with our niece, Lily, so yesterday we packed up the family truckster and headed down to the Cox Convention Center to see Sesame Street Live.
Lily doesn't watch much television, so I don't think she really knew who Elmo was going into the show, but that soon changed! Once we got to the show we immediately headed to the overpriced toy kiosk where she picked out a lighted spinning Elmo toy. She loved it...for about five minutes.
Then came the anticipation of waiting for the show to start. This is where she started to psych herself out. She got really quiet, then when Big Birds voice came over the speakers telling us to turn off our cell phones, Lily let out a big, "no no no no" cry. Nick and I looked out each other and thought, "this can't be good." Thank heavens we were wrong.
Once the show started, Lily kind of just took it in. She sat on my lap pretty subdued. About ten minutes into the show she passed out. Expensive nap! We let her sleep through the first act and intermission, then we woke her up. In typical Lily fashion she woke up in the best mood and ready for "Melmo".
She absolutely LOVED the second act. She danced in the isle and got excited anytime "Melmo" sang. So to recap, 30 minutes of uncertainty, 30 minutes of sleep, 30 minutes of unadulterated fun.
