Daddy and I have had some pretty spectacular Valentine's dates, but this year was my favorite. We took the girls to see the play based on the book Go, Dog. Go! by P.D. Eastman. All week the girls talked about the big date and wanted to know if it was the day yet. Baby G stayed home with her aunt, while we dressed in pink and red and took our big girls to their first play.
They loved "reading" the playbill. Lady was a little hesitant, not knowing quite what to expect. Bell, on the other hand was jumping in her seat, dancing, clapping her hands and saying "they're so funny, Mom." I didn't know if I was more entertained watching her or the play. About halfway into the show, Lady was a little more relaxed, especially when the actors hit big beach balls into the audience and we had to hit them back and forth. It was so much fun.
The highlight of the show was when they asked for five children to come up on stage. Lady was selected, but had second thoughts. Bell didn't hesitate one bit. She bounded down the aisle and said "C'mon Lady, it's not scary." She marched straight on stage and started dancing to the music. The dogs asked all the children to scatch their ears and do other dog activities. Not Bell, she just kept on dancing. The green dog tried to get her to participate with the others, but she was having too much fun dancing on her own to be bothered. I was laughing so hard that I had tears streaming down my face. The dogs ushered the children actors back to their seats and Bell kept asking to go down on stage again. I told her she had to wait until the end of the show. As soon as the show was over, she ran down to the cubes where the actors were sitting down to meet the audience, and sat down to greet the people in line. Daddy and I couldn't believe how unabashed she was... not even an ounce of fear!
Blue Dog, Lady and our little actress greeting the audience members. After the play we took the girls to Mimi's Cafe for dinner. They had eggs and toast for dinner and chocolate mousse for dessert. It was a most memorable Valentine's day. I'm so in love with these girls!
