We recently took Maggie to see her first play. The Alliance has this relatively new program called Theatre for the Very Young. Its target audience is 18 months to 2 years, I believe. We saw Waiting for Balloon, which is basically Waiting for Godot for toddlers (only the balloon shows up). It was awesome. Maggie was probably the youngest in the room, but she was just as captivated as the other kids. She bounced during the music, stared at the giant balloon and giggled when they threw a ball to the kid next to her. She did try to eat her ticket (which is was a piece of yarn that the kids give to an actor on their way in that gets incorporated into the show later).
We are definitely going to see more of these shows.
Last weekend we went to the homecoming games at Ali's school. Their big sport is basketball, so homecoming is a day of 5 basketball games. Maggie was in a great mood, despite the length of the day. Of course, it did help that she managed to take a nap on my nap for about half of the JV game. Ali won a t-shirt, so Maggie got to show her school spirit for a minute.
