Connor's going to the Elmo show!

Mommy and Connor will be heading off in late July to see Sesame Street Live starring Elmo at the Carlson Center here in Fairbanks. I know he is just going to plotz -- Elmo was a recent favorite, supplanted by Thomas the Tank Engine of late, but still holds Connor's deepest affections with his cool ABC book. Elmo also has one titled "Elmo's Ducky Day" that Aunt Angela sent him for Easter that not only has ducks, but also has a police motorcycle featured...could life get much better? You can't really ask more of a book in Connor's world unless you can also add a train in there, but that's a stretch for a book about ducks in downtown NYC.

Anyway, I digress...since daddy's idea of the seventh circle of hell is sitting for an hour and a half in a oversized gym packed full of sticky toddlers while cartoon puppets belt out potty songs, mommy is taking Connor as a special "mommy and me" treat. This is NOT because mommy is dying to listen to Elmo squeak at 70 decibel levels either, but I know how much this is going to make Connor's day, year, and even century. And the tickets were a bit pricey for said cartoon puppet torture, so Connor and I are going to make a day of it before we have to share mommy with prospective little brother Timmy. I'll be 35 weeks then and more than capable of steam rolling anyone who gets in the way of my baby boy's enjoyment of "Melmo".

We got 4th row center seats so he should have a good view and a very exciting day to remember...I'm so tickled! "Melmo" won't know there's an ecstatic 2.5 year old fan in the audience, but that fan's mommy will!
