Sesame Street Live

Back in February a very good friend of mine came in town with her family.  She has two boys.  Wyatt will be 3 in September and Weston will be 1 in September.  She came in town so we could take the "big" kids to Sesame Street Live!  This was my first experience as a mom doing something like this so I was a little nervous how Hailey would react to it.  She was just over a year and a half at the time.  Nothing to worry about though because she had a blast.  We had the best seats.  They were right in front of a railing that was completely covered and on the end of the row.  We were able to let the kids out of their chairs and run around, (you in know in the space that 4 seats take up).  Hailey did end up sitting with me for most of it because she wasn't big enough to keep the seat from folding up on her!!!  That was pretty funny.  At one point while the show was on, Wyatt started yelling "Zoe", which is one of the characters name's.  Then looked over to his mom, Kate, and said, "mom, I'll be right back" then proceeded to try and run down the stairs to get to the stage where Zoe was.  It was too cute. 

At intermission, guess what they brought out... that's right... a million Elmo balloons front and center stage!!!  Thankfully we were able to distract the kids enough that we didn't have to fight the swarm of parents to get a balloon.  During the second half of the show, we got to watch all the poor suckers, I mean loving parents, try to shove their newly purchased Elmo balloon under the chair so the people behind them could still see. 

We had to try some cotton candy.  Hailey preferred her graham cracker that we snuck in. 

Wyatt however, was a BIG fan of the cotton candy.
