Elmo Live!

Saturday morning Yaya took Crewsie to see Elmo Live downtown Cleveland at Playhouse Square!  OH. MY. GOSH. did he LOVE it!  I was worried he might get a little restless because this was his first show, but he did awesome!  When Elmo and all his buddies came out onto the stage Crewsie's eye lit up and he got so excited!  At first, he kept pulling my hand and saying "Down, Down!"...because he thought we could go down to the stage!  After a couple minutes he understood that we sit in our seats and enjoy the show!  Crew only watches Sesame Street on t.v. every once in a great while (because he basically doesn't watch t.v.), but he knew the characters from all of his Elmo and Sesame Street books.  His favorites are Elmo, of course, and Abby, Bert and Big Bird!  Thanks so much Yaya...we had soooooo much fun!




Getting ready for the show to start!

Yaya of course spolied Crewsie with an Elmo toy and an Elmo balloon.  He also chowed down on popcorn (which is his new favorite snack) and a cookie!



The show was great...bright colors and lights and fun songs for the kids.



Intermission!
