Elmo Came to Town!

We made our second annual visit to Elmo Live on Sunday. This year's theme was Making Music, and there were lots of songs by Elmo and the gang. We posed with a few props before the big event began. We also spent 15 minutes at the souvenir stand agonizing over the many choices. Linc finally decided on a plastic Elmo holding a wand with a blinking star on the top. He had a death grip on that thing the entire show!

We had great seats, although Linc sat on my lap the entire time because the Grandma in front of him was tall. I loved it . . . when do I ever get a completely still almost 3 year old to hug for over an hour???? Never!
During the break we burned some energy with hopscotch. We had to visit the potty several times. Each time one of the characters left the stage, Linc would ask where they went. When he asked about Big Bird, I answered that I thought he went to potty and would be right back. Immediately, Lincoln needed to go to the potty. I tried to assure him that Big Bird was going to a nest potty and not the one that little boys use, but he needed to find out for himself. We checked a few times with no luck.

It was a super fun Sunday afternoon! Beau got some one on one attention from Nana and Pops, and Linc got Mommy and Daddy all to himself. Daddy and Linc sang all the way to the car . . . well, Lincoln is still singing!


Thanks for coming to visit, Elmo! Lincoln says that Beau will be big enough to go next year, so be sure to come back!
