Sesame Street!

On Saturday we went to see a Sesame Street production! So, yes, I CAN tell you how to get... how to get to Sesame Street.

The USO offers a free Sesame Street tour/performance especially for military bases and military families! So we went!

Andrew is a couple days from being 6 months, so I'll be honest: I wanted to go! I was probably more excited than 80% of the kids there. The other 20% were either sleeping, not paying attention, or just plain scared. Hands down, I was the most excited parent there.

Andrew watched most of the show.

He REALLY watched it!

Although, the real highlight for Andrew was the toy he was given. It spins around and lights up... it's a good time!

It seems he got a little annoyed with all the picture taking. He really just wanted to play with that darn toy!

The show was a little short, but after all, it was free! It lasted about 30-45 minutes, and featured Rosita, Zoe, Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Grover.

For the most part, Andrew enjoyed the whole show. At one point he teetered on the brink of terror, but that was short lived. I think it might have been too much stimuli for his brain. I mean, between the lights, the singing and dancing furry monsters, and the kids of all ages- it was almost too much for my adult brain! It was certainly way too much for James. I think he was ready to go after the words "Sunny day."

Overall, it was a great experience! Of course I had the most fun, Andrew had a good time, and James being there made us happy.
