Awesome

I wouldn't have guessed that we ALL would have so much fun. But there is something magical in seeing your child's dream come true.

As you can see, the blue headphones came in handy once again. We had great seats in the balcony closest to the stage. We could have been down in the orchestra seats right up front, but I felt that would be overwhelming for George, and these seats were perfect. We could see slightly offstage, so whenever Thomas was waiting in the wings, George could see him. There was much excitement, shouting, and even dancing. He even did well when the show was over. There was a very definite ending, with the actors all waving good-bye to the audience, so he understood that it was time to go.

Totally worth the money, and yet another example of how much he can handle when we give him new opportunities.

How many times did they play the song? Is it still running through your head? If it wasn't a moment ago, is it now?
