Dora!

I've been so behind on blogging, but last month Grace saw Dora Live! Zilla bought 3 tickets when they went on sale in the summer and since Daddy wasn't too keen on going, Zilla, Gracie and I went and had a great time! Grace was in awe throughout the whole thing. She was so excited to see all her favorite characters come out on stage. "There's Boots! There's Isa! I see Benny!" Zilla got a little emotional and teared up a bit seeing how happy and excited Grace was (and, I'll admit, I did too!). She was pumped to see Dora, but was even more excited when Diego made an appearance after the intermission. Before the show, Zilla told Grace she could pick something from the merchandise stand; she chose a blue Diego t-shirt. Every time she wears it she talks about seeing Dora and Diego on the big stage.
We had a few tears from Grace during the show - there was one part where Dora asked everyone to jump up and down to help her and Boots open a door. Grace was jumping up and down and holding on to the seat in front of her and bonked her chin! She cried but only for a few seconds. She watched the rest of the show from Zilla's lap but still loved it all.
The three of us went out for supper after the show. It was such a great afternoon and evening! This was Grace's first big show and we will definitely be keeping an eye out for anything else coming to town that she will enjoy.

Waiting for the show to start!

This was her face throughout most of the show. So attentive, taking it all in!
