Before the show started, there were some characters out singing in the lobby of the event center. Aaron put Julia on his shoulders so she could have a good view of them. Then, before the characters left to go backstage to prepare for the show, he jockeyed Julia into a good position, close to the character, and Ernie touched Julia's hand. She was so excited. We joked that she was never going to wash that hand again. She still talks about how Ernie touched her hand.
There were also some cool sets where you could get your picture taken. We went around getting photos of Julia with lots of her favorite Sesame friends. There was also a coloring station, and Julia enjoyed making some Sesame Street art.

We then took our seats in the auditorium. We had a great view!
Then, the show started. Julia was so entranced. She was bouncing on Aaron's lap to the music, and singing along. She did get concerned whenever a character would leave the stage, asking over and over, "Where did So-and-so go? Where did So-and-so go?"
At the intermission, we got some popcorn. My morning sickness was still dictating I eat pretty often to stave off nausea, plus, who doesn't love popcorn during a show? We all enjoyed eating it!
The second half was a lot of fun, too. Julia continued to be thrilled about seeing all the Sesame characters and really enjoyed all of the music. Aaron and I were both so delighted to see how happy Julia was, and all three of us really had a great time.
After the show, we met up with Elizabeth and Sarah for lunch, before heading home. Julia fell asleep on the way home, tuckered out from her day of great fun!
