Part of it comes from my worrying about the poor animals used in the shows. This was a small circus, and so the animals were limited to horses, dogs, and llamas, but still . . . It was fun though, and I'm glad we took her.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-86745029160866094482014-03-08T13:52:44.614-08:002014-03-08T13:52:44.614-08:00How did Disneyland go?

If she's allowed to walk on her own, it's a more challenging as she wants to look at everything. <br /><br />And thanks! It's going to be a crazy week!

I'm glad that you guys ended up having a good experience at the theater (minus the abominable snowman) and great tip about the vendors at the circus. There are certain stores we go to where I have to prep talk Elle beforehand but I wouldn't have thought about it at a time out like that, though.<br /><br />Enjoy the birthday festivities!!

Actually he still plays a little game that started with that book that ends with me exclaiming "MY BABY!"and then covering him in kisses. I'm so glad that Maggie loves it too :)<br />She made it through the whole movie - that's great! We haven't tried the circus but we're taking Gage to Sesame Street Live at the theater this month. I have no idea what will go down since it's during nap time. It will probably be a disaster but if he gets to see Cookie Monster and Grover it will be worth it!stacybuckeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811500448951042300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-760772457721768442014-02-28T16:59:45.052-08:002014-02-28T16:59:45.052-08:00Sounds like some special new memories.

He is so docile and always has been but not when he went to the movies. He could not sit through a movie until he was about 6. I remember we tried to see Spider Man in Santa Barbara and that first shot of the spider in the lab sent him out the door and into the street!! He moved so fast. <br /><br />The Girl?
