Arthur Live!

My sister suggested we take the kids to see Arthur Live. They were coming to the Lakeland Center which is right smack at the halfway point between her place and mine. It worked out really well. Aiden really loved the show and had the typical ooh-aah reaction. He was very cute. And when she wasn't dropping her bottle, Maya was cooing and babbling the entire time. I was pleasantly surprised with the show’s content. It had something for all ages. I enjoyed it much better than the Blue’s Clues show, but poor Jayden sat there with a frown on. I tried to engage him by dancing in my seat, clapping and singing, but he was actually trying to hold my arms down so I wouldn’t clap. I’m no longer surprised by his reactions so I just ignored him.

The curtain went down for the intermission and Jayden looked at me and said “Where’s Blues Clues?” Is that what the problem is? He automatically thought it would be Blues Clues performing, since that was the first show we went to. Poor guy. Snacks and juice kept him entertained for the second half of the show and afterwards we hit the souvenir stand. I got him a T-Shirt and a back pack and he seemed happy with this. I’m thinking about Diego Live next. We’ll see.

Here is my boy. I'm not sure if you can see it or not, but notice how his eyebrow is furrowed.
I kept Maya on my lap with the help of the baby carrier. Diaper changes were interesting but we made it happen!

Here's my sister and her family, enjoying the show.
