Elmo Live

We all know how much Mollie loves Elmo so my parents got her tickets to go see Sesame Street Live yesterday. They even went above and beyond and got her tickets for the meet and greet beforehand. Unfortunately, the day before she woke up that morning throwing up (with a bad stomach bug) and was in mine and John's room all day watching movies. As is normal this time of year John had to work on Saturday afternoon so I had both kids for a good majority of they day by myself. That was an adventure, keeping Mollie away from Cy (which killed her every time he cried) and not being able to snuggle with my little girl all day. However my parents came over in the late afternoon so I was able to get some help until John got home. Mollie woke up yesterday morning and felt better, she was even able to keep down a pancake and juice! We decided that either I or John should go with her to see Elmo just to be on the safe side. Since I haven't been out of the house a lot since having Cy John wanted me to go so me, Mollie and my Dad packed up and went.
The meet and greet was pretty cool, especially since it was Elmo and Abby which are her 2 favorites. She patiently waited her turn to have her picture with them and had no problem talking and sitting on their laps. After we got done taking pictures Mollie got up and looked at the 2 characters and said "thank you." It broke my heart. Of course, we had to stop at the "goodie" stand and Dad bought her a t-shirt and activity book and I got her a light up Elmo thing that goes around and around. We then got to our seats which were front row. During the performance the characters will come down into the audience and high-five and give hugs to the kids so Mollie loved that. All in all, it was a good day for her.
