She knows it pretty well so we thought this would be a good play to take Kaitlyn to for the first time. I packed tons of things in case Kaitlyn was not going to do well in the play. I thought she would sit and like it, but who knows as we are going into uncharted territory. As I have mentioned before, Kaitlyn is our curious explorer, our adventurer, so she has always put us on high alert for the unexpected.
When we drove up, we saw tons of families going into the theatre and we were almost an hour early because the box office told us it was going to be packed. Kaitlyn was sleeping in the car so I waited as long as possible as the boys went in to get in line.
She woke up and we walked in a little before it started. She handed her ticket to the ticket person and led me into the theatre where Brandon got a good seat in the front with plenty of room to spread out with Jackson. Kaitlyn had her own seat and when it started, she sat with her eyes glued to the stage for the first act - 25 minutes. The theatre was actually pretty quiet considering all of the kids under the age of 4. Kaitlyn even swayed to the songs they sang and pointed to the bears and cow. They had some cute effects and the actors were great.
The last 25 minutes was good too, but for the last five minutes you could tell all of the kids had reached their limit. There was a lot more noise. Kaitlyn got up and danced a little bit too. She also held Missy (her baby doll) the whole time and had her dance a little too. Kaitlyn also at intermission went down with other kids for her birthday month and they sang to her.
Afterwards, the characters signed her playbill and Kaitlyn showed them all Missy.
Brandon held Jackson the whole time and gave him a bottle. Man, we lucked out. I am always preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. I think we are getting the hang of this thing called a family of four! It was a fun afternoon. Jackson did well and Kaitlyn did well too. What a success!
