Emma went to see her first big show last night and she loved it! We took her to the Nokia theater in downtown LA to see Sesame Street. I wasn't sure what to expect (Emma didn't know what to expect either!), but it turned out to be a really cute show. This was my first show geared towards children and I had to laugh at how different it is....people took pictures the whole time, kids danced in the aisle, babies would cry and no one would think twice about it, etc...

This is Emma before the show started. This is how her face looks when she is guarded.














Of course they had vendors walking the aisles and enticing kids with all kinds of treats. I have no idea why, but Emma asked for cotton candy. I think this is the only time she sat in her own seat. I also have no idea why they make you buy a seat for your kids. All of the kids that I saw were either standing up and dancing or they were sitting on their parents' lap. I also couldn't believe the cost of the tickets, parking, food and souvenirs. Emma took about 3 licks of her $4 cotton candy.




















Emma was totally hooked once the show started. I think her mouth was open the entire time. When everything was over, she turned to me and said "again". I told her she needed to start saving up for the next show!




















It really was a cute production. I noticed they have a Dora show coming in the fall. I need to apply for my second job :-)



























On a separate note, the preparations for Emma's third birthday party are underway! It's going to be fun!
