Today I took my son to see Elmo's Coloring Book. I'm not sure that I have ever seen him so excited. When we told him that today was the day he was going to see Elmo...his eyes just about popped out of his head. It was all he could talk about. All the way to the theater all he would say was, "Elmo...here we come!!" and "See Elmo?" or "See Elmo!!!" The theater the performance was at is quite old and ornate. My son was looking all around. He could hardly walk, he was so busy looking at the people and the ceiling...everything.
When the show started he just sat there. He was mesmerized with all of the lights. I don't think the little guy blinked for the first ten minutes. Even when Elmo came out, it was as though he (my son) couldn't believe what he was seeing. I think my husband and I spent more time watching our son's face than anything else. When it was time to leave he cried. He didn't want to go. Except for a 15 minute intermission, my son (who is normally hard-pressed to sit still for five minutes) sat quietly for about an hour and a half to an hour and forty-five minutes. Amazing!
Just for the record...I think my little boy is the most amazing person I have ever known (this includes that times that he is naughty and/or just plain driving me nuts)! Of course, I imagine every parent feels this way.
Good night.
