Elmo

The birthday weekend extravaganza began today when we took Henry to see "Sesame Street Live" with his friend Kate. Henry was very, very excited to see Elmo, and once the lights dimmed he became almost catatonic while staring at Elmo, Big Bird. and the rest of the Sesame Street crew.

Henry and Kate before the show began - not yet fully aware of the joy to come:



The show:



Henry's expression the vast majority of the time:




An attempt at a self-portrait - Henry once again had his eyes glued to the stage and a slack jawed, mesmerized expression:



The show was an hour and a half and included a 15 minute intermission. Henry did really, really well until the last 10 minutes. He was definitely ready to go when it ended, then refused lunch and actually REQUESTED a nap (a first!) Looks like Elmo is a wee bit overstimulating for the 2 year old crowd, but still a very good time.
