Elmo Makes Music

Last Friday evening we took the girls to a live Elmo show at the Idaho Center. Ally isn't "into" too many things for any length of time, but Elmo has been her friend for several months. If you remember back to June, she wanted an Elmo themed birthday party. Since then she has slept with her little stuffed Elmo doll almost every night. Funny thing is, she hardly ever watches Sesame Street so she doesn't really know too much about him. I guess she just thinks that he's a cute little character.

Anyway.... the show was pretty fun. It was family night, so we got discounted tickets and had fairly good seats. All the Sesame Street characters were there and the costumes were very VERY realistic. The plot of the show wasn't very compelling to anyone over the age of six, but Sierra and Ally enjoyed themselves. Sierra pulled out all of her white-girl dance moves for several of the musical numbers. Ally picked her nose most of the time, but she did watch the entire show. (Quite an accomplishment for her!) In spite of the begging, we didn't get suckered into the $15 light spinners or the $8 balloons. Although Sierra told me that she positively DID want to get ripped off. It was a night that the girls will be talking about for a while.

Like I said....
