Sesame Street Live came into town on Cooper's birthday so we took the boys. We weren't sure if we should bring Cooper or not but I felt bad leaving him home with a sitter on his birthday. I know he has no clue it's his birthday, but still, I felt bad. So we all went... yeah, I think we should have left Cooper home with the sitter. He was mesmerized the first 5 minutes and was over the rest. Wes had to take him to the hall a couple of times to let him walk around. He got restless and didn't want to stay put. Jake, on the other hand, loved it! I'm surprised by this, but there weren't very many people there! Theres' the golden circle which was on the floor and that was only filled up a few rows, if that! And we were in the first row of our section, right behind the golden circle. There must have been maybe 10 or 15 people behind us! Weird! But it was still a lot of fun. We had good seats because the characters would come in front of us and shake our hands or high five us. Jake loved high fiving all of them except Cookie Monster, who freaked him out. And even though he was happy to have Elmo give him a high five, he really wanted him to give him rocks (pound fist) instead. It was a great show. But my only complaint is the things they sell. At intermission they came out with TONS of elmo balloons so I told Wes to get the boys one, maybe it would keep Cooper still. He went up to get one and guess how much a balloon was? $10! Are you KIDDING me? Seriously, there were a bunch of suckers who bought them for their kids. These weren't exceptional balloons either, just regular sized Elmo balloons. Lame! Jake had popcorn and a slushy instead. Wes had been out of town and we weren't sure if he would be able to make it but it all worked out and we were so happy to have him with us!
