Raleigh has developed a love for Sesame Street and has quickly picked up on the names of all the characters. Of course Elmo is her favorite character. We decided that we would take her to see Sesame Street Live: Elmo's Green Thumb. I was a little worried that she would be scared of the characters because she has not been a fan of the large dressed up characters (dinosaur, Monkey Joes, Chick-fil-A cow, etc.). Thankfully she LOVED them and was not at all scared of them. We decided to make it a special day all about Elmo. She carried Elmo with her the whole day and watched Elmo's Potty Time (wish it would have trained her!) On the way to Phillips Arena we enjoyed a classic...The Varsity! When we arrived a Phillips the stage was set up differently than what we thought. We had fantastic seats...floor seats, section one, and three rows back on the aisle! Once the show began Raleigh was wide eyed and loved every minute of it. During the intermission she started saying "where Elmo?" and then told me about all the characters that she had seen. During the second half of the show she was much more vocal calling out to the characters and waving to them. Once it was over she cried the whole way out of Phillips saying "Em-Mo!" I loved watching her and spending time with her doing something that she totally enjoyed!
CHEESE!
