Amelia's Happy Birthday

Monday will be Amelia's 2nd birthday.  I can't believe it!  I've been talking to her all week about her birthday because instead of a birthday party this year we were going to take her to see Sesame Street Live.  Well, I didn't know what she would think of a big elmo, so I've been trying to get her excited about it all week.  I also wanted to make sure that she would understand that Elmo was going to be adult size.  So, she has been a little confused about her birthday.  She really doesn't know when it is.  Last night was a little hectic and I had a dinner planned, but daddy said, let's just go out to eat.  So, we went to the pizza place in Indianola.  Amelia was so cute when we got there, she says, Amelia's Happy Birthday.  She thought we were going for her birthday.  I just let her think that.  We did go ahead and give her her birthday present last night.  A radio flyer pink tricycle.  It is the cutest thing ever! 

She hasn't quite figured out how to petal yet, but it will come.

 

Today, we drove to Vicksburg for Elmo live.  We had to get there by 10 for the meet and greet.  I was a little nervous about how the girls would do, but they both did great.  The show lasted 1.5 hrs and AC actually stayed awake for the whole show, only slept during the 15 min intermission.  She loved it.  We had front row middle seats.  It was perfect.  The characters interacted with Amelia, she loved it!  She even did well sitting in Elmo's lap.  Maybe we will make it through Santa this year.  We all had a lot of fun, but were exhausted after all the driving and show watching.

Amelia had a blue raspberry snow cone.  Let's just say, she was a bit crazy on the beginning part of the ride home.

AC watching the show.  I really think she has a future in show business.  She loves all things theatrical!  She even turned her head too as the different characters spoke.

So far, Amelia's Happy Birthday has been a lot of fun, and it isn't even her birthday yet.  Lots more celebrating will be done!
