The folks over at VEE Corporation, who are the producers of Sesame Street Live, were wonderful enough to give this Blogger Mama and my family tickets to see Sesame Street Live at Madison Square Garden. We went today and we had so much fun. We even got to meet Elmo and Cookie Monster before the show! Theo, who is usually scared out of his mind at events (remember his terror at The Big Apple Circus?), was more than a bit apprehensive when we first sat down, but perked right up when Big Bird came out on stage. And as soon as his beloved Cookie Monster and Elmo came out he was officially sold. He stared raptly at the stage and even shimmied his shoulders here and there to a song or two. Not only was he not terrified - he was having fun. I was so happy!
Keep in mind, Theo doesn't watch TV, and he's never even seen an episode of Sesame Street in his life, but with all the Sesame Street books and stuffed animals we have, he already loves the characters so much. Once I start letting him watch Sesame Street sporadica
lly when he turns three, I know he will be one of its biggest fans. And for those kids that are already watching Sesame Street, going to see them live is such a huge treat. Sesame Street Live will only be in town for the next few weeks, so you'll have to hurry if you're in NYC. If you aren't, check here for when they make it to your area.

I leave you with some pictures of today's festivities. Even if Theo's too little to remember this day, I don't think I will ever forget it. Nothing makes a Mama happier than seeing her cub enjoying himself. I'm truly grateful for today.
And last but not least, my sister Deniz and my niece Jayda (that's not an upset face, that's her saying "CHEEEESE!").

I took my daughter to this way back in September when they came to my area in Florida. She loved it. Ever since then, she has been an Elmo girl.
Sounds like a great event. i hear you about your fear that your son would freak out. Its an odd age. you would think they would love characters they are used to but I remember BD party my daughter went where the parents hired a elmo to entertain the kids and the kids were terrified and cried throughout the performance.
Glad he had a good time.

Well, it's never too early to introduce him to theater.
