The Lion King!

On Mother's Day my mom came down to take Isabela and me to The Lion King, which was playing in Madison.  So much fun.  She had given us tickets for Christmas and Isabela had been talking about going ever since. 

I think that she was overwhelmed by the magnificence of it all.  Afterward we kept asking her what was her favorite part and she always said - ALL of it. 

I thought that the best part was watching her.  She was enthralled from the very beginning.  About halfway through the first act though she told me she had to go potty.  We were right in the middle of a row and I told her when the song was done we would go.  Until intermission, I offer to take her to the bathroom after every song and she would insist that she could hold it.  She didn't want to miss a moment.  I have to say that I would have enjoyed that part of the play more if she wasn't sitting on my lap insisting that she could hold it.  It made me a little nervous.  She made it though, and our row let me buzz out of there right away at intermission.  I think that they were a little nervous too.

It was such a wonderful experience and she enjoyed it so much that we will have to try and take her to more of these kind of things.  Thank you Mom for the wonderful time.  It was great to spend it with you and my little girl!
