Olivia’s First Concert

So I apologize to anyone who reads this and may have wondered why I stopped blogging two (three?) months ago. It definitely was not intentional, but I was having serious problems sitting in front of the monitor and reading because of my morning sickness, which is now (thankfully) gone. I’m pretty sure that everyone who reads this is aware that I am pregnant (due in May) but if not, Surprise! We were!

At any rate, not a whole lot happened over the last few months worth noting because of the aforementioned sickness, but before that set in, Olivia attended her first concert – Sesame Street Live! I saw the commercials that the show was coming to town and called an old friend at the TV station where I worked before Olivia was born to get tickets. Even though she is a huge fan of Elmo and Abby in the mornings at home, I wasn’t sure how she would like the live performance. Turns out, she had a great time!

Our free tickets were mid-level tickets. This photo makes it look like we were light years away from the stage, but we actually had pretty good seats.

I couldn’t get her to look at the camera, but here she is emptying my purse during the show. She was dancing in front of her seat, but we had to pick her up because she kept petting the head of the little boy in front of her.

This is a photo of the balloons that Olivia almost owned. That’s Elmo in case you can’t tell. They sold them during the intermission; C was halfway down there with Olivia to get one when he heard someone say they cost $15. He turned around and came back to our seats immediately. I felt sorry for Olivia until I saw about 10 of those balloons floating in the rafters less than five minutes later. Good times.
