We took Drew (and Emma) to see Dora’s Pirate Adventure - the live musical - at the Warner Theater. Andrew, who had just woken from a nap in the car, was pretty much stunned the entire time. He did seem to enjoy the show, though he spent the entire time on either Mom or Dad’s lap. And of course it got the ringing endorsement from the TiVo raised child, “I want to watch it againâ€.
Emma, true to her nature, danced away for the first half and then spent Act 2 climbing the stairs in the theater and running the halls.
What amazed me most however was my willingness to spend $12 on a Dora flashlight thing. It’s one of those things that I’d ordinarily balk at - having been taught that lesson by my own dad - but something about the circumstances made it seem like a worthwhile expense for a memorable occassion. Drew of course loved it for about 3 1/2 minutes.
