Sesame Place

We spent the day at Sesame Place in Pennsylvania and holy crap, it was like every parenting fantasy rolled into one. I could have busted out into huge mama tears while we were at the million dollar "Dinner with Big Bird and Friends" toddlergasm. Punk was just beside herself with happiness and was dancing, waving, hugging characters, asking them questions. "Ernie, why you have stripes?" "Elmo, why your mouth black?" She fed Cookie Monster some broccoli and he was nice enough to indulge her and pretend to eat it. And the food was actually decent, too.

I also spent a billion dollars on an Abby Cadabby doll. "No, Mama, I want the BIG Abby Dadaddy!" Did you know that you get a 30% discount on everything if you have a Season Pass? Did you know that I got complimentary Season Pass upgrades from our hotel package? Did you know that my kid was over the moon when we went to a show with Abby AND Elmo AND Grover AND Cookie Monster AND Rosita?

Right now, the only thing that is bothering me is that it's been in the 90s at home (just like it is here, HOT) and I'm worried about my cats. They're smart enough to hang out in the basement, right? That's where the food, water, and litter boxes are. And our old couch. They'll stay down there to stay cool, right? God, I hope so.

I spent my entire life imagining the day when I have children. Let me tell you, it is so much better than I ever imagined. She is everything.

Awww! I'd love to take K next summer, but unless things change, I refuse to set foot within 7 hours of my parents and well...yeah.

Cats love the heat, remember. They're probably loving this, so long as they have enough water!

I totally agree; being a mama is so much better than I even imagined :)

Glad she is loving it like The Beck does. Can I just tell you that I have seen that Abby show three times now but it feels like, oh, a gazillion. And yet I would see it a gazillion more times for the look on his face!

Re. cats, I wouldn't worry. They find ways to stay cool, just like they find ways to stay warm.
