It's a big day in Schultzville. Katherine Grace went to her first play (a huge milestone for a future rock star!) It was the Hans Christian Andersen version of The Little Mermaid, so Jeff and I spent much of the play explaining that Ursula would not be making an appearance. Being a traditional fairy tale there was also the looming threat that Arabelle (the starring mermaid) would DROP DEAD!!! Fortunately Kate missed that each time it was mentioned - whew, major freak out averted.
Both girls clapped and giggled and yelled at every opportunity. They got to dance on the ocean floor and take pictures in their tiaras and wands. To quote Sarah, Children's theater is "off the hook!" I'm not sure where she learned that . . . Sarah's favorite character was the villain, Willamina. Kate's was the pink mermaid - one of Arabelle's sisters. My favorite part was when the kids got to meet the actors. Our little Kate is so cuddly and sweet all the actors wanted to hug her. They were calling her over. It was like one of those credit card commercials: Theater Tickets: $12, Wands and Tiaras $16, Seeing your child through the eyes of The Little Mermaid Cast - Priceless!!!
