Sesame Street Live...

Today, we went to see Sesame Street Live. This year's show was "Elmo Grows Up". At first we didn't tell Alexander where we were going for the potential barrage of questions about seeing Elmo...and it's probably for the best because once we told him in the car, he was asking "Where's Elmo?" We also told him we were meeting Mimi & Papi and his reaction was very cute. "I wanna hug Mimi, then Papi, then give kisses"
We drove up to the Arena and he kept asking if he was in Boston and what town he was in (can you tell we're working on towns). Once we parked, we waited for Mimi & Papi and were going to head inside. He was so excited to see them both that he was giving kisses & hugs at the entrance, causing a bit of a jam. Can't blame the kid for being excited.
We got to our seats, grabbed something quick to eat, and on with the show! The show was cute but definitely seemed to loose the momentum towards the middle of the show. Last year, the kids were singing through the entire show. This year, it seems as if they lost interest during the 2nd half. Alexander, although mesmerized, did keep asking Mimi if it was done.He was very excited to see Cookie and Elmo most because when they were on stage, he would point and say their names, everyone else he just stared at the stage. As the show ended, confetti came out of the ceiling and some landed right on Alexander - he thought that was pretty funny. Then it was time to go get something to eat, but not before a few family photo-ops!He did say he wanted to come back next year to see Elmo & Cookie again...
