For Cousin Jakey's 2nd birthday we went to see Playhouse Disney Live over the weekend. I have two HUGE Playhouse Disney fans so this was a really big deal. Aside from Clark freaking out for the first 20 minutes (he kept crying, "Les goooo now, Mama!"), the kids had a fabulous time seeing characters from some of their favorite shows.
The gang from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Well, four of them anyways.
Darby, Pooh and Tigger from My Friends Tigger & Pooh
Handy Manny and his tools
And Jakey's all-time favorite, The Little Einsteins - Clark freaked out when he saw the smoke coming out of Rocket the rocketship. And yes, this is the Rocket that is the namesake of our third child. <Thank you, Miss Cadence for bestowing our baby #3 with a nickname that he will probably never outgrow, haha.>
If Stanley and Jojo & Goliath from Jojo's Circus had been part of the show, I think Cadence would have been in heaven. Regardless, she had a smile pasted on her face the entire time. Funny . . . immediately after the show Miss Cadence kept asking why Rocket didn't have any windows like he does on the cartoon. Um, good question Cadence. Maybe the little Einsteins were hot under all the lights?? Or maybe they wanted the audience to hear them better so they rolled the windows down??? Clever answers that satistified Miss C. I made the mistake of thinking that I was in the clear from other probing questions. I thought wrong. When we got home Miss Cadence kept asking why the Little Eisnteins and Darby in the live show were "big" unlike the characters in the cartoon. I had no clever answers this time so I finally asked her what she thought and she said that they were probably just be pretending to be the "real" characters that she watches on TV. Pretty observant preschooler I have, you think? Cadence seemed satisfied with her own answer and finally stopped analyzing the show after making this comment, "At least the 'big' Little Einsteins weren't scary, Mama." Well, maybe not to her, but to Clarkie - that's another story.
A few more photos to try and make up for me not posting so much lately:

Hey Joy! What day did you go? We took the kids, too! My kids enjoyed it but they said the people on stage were just normal people in costumes. Talk about spoiling the fun! Hehehe
