Alyssa Loves Elmo!

For her birthday, Mike and I bought tickets to take Alyssa to see Elmo Makes Music! at the RBC Center. We went on Saturday night and had a great time. As anticipated, she loved seeing all of the other kids. She was very excited as soon as the characters came out on stage... pointing and shouting "OOOOH!" We were there for about an hour and a half and she was great the whole time (she only got restless for 2 short intervals during some talking and a slow song!) She enjoyed dancing with the music (of course!!!) and watching everyone else react. She got the most excited when they started to play "The Hustle!" She was dancing like I have never seen her dance! And you should have heard her squeal when the turned on the disco ball! (I guess we have a disco- maniac on our hands!)

We also thought it was funny to see her reaction to the applause... each time she waited until everyone was done clapping before she started it herself, and she always threw in a holler herself. Everyone around us was giggling at how cute she was. We all really enjoyed ourselves and are really glad we went!
