This past weekend Adam and I took Liam to see Disney Live Rockin Road Tour. As soon as we stepped in the door, not only did they soak us for $75/ticket, they sucked an extra $75 on all the miscellaneous crap every little boy has to have. We got him this twirling disco ball that had stars on it that lit up...I was sure it would either be wrapped up in my hair by the end of the show or Liam would be blinded by a stray star. Then there was the high gloss Buzz Light Year, with removable wings, that needed to be tucked into Liam's grip. And then let's not forget the photograph with a fake Mickey and Minnie and the snow cone with souvenir cup. Things got expensive.
I think my favorite quote from Liam that day was "We're coming Handy Manny! We're on our way!" He said this repeatedly on the way up to the Excel Center...Even though Handy Manny didn't make an appearance, as promised, we did get to see Woody and Buzz Light Year. He thought Buzz was "da bomb" and didn't mind that he wore purple tights and a fake backpack...one day it will bother him as much as it bothered me.
But Liam loves theater and I have to say that each of us adults (mom and dad went as well) even got into the show. It was fun to see the characters all dressed up, dancing, signing, and putting on a "talent show" for us. It felt magical and I got that warm fuzzy feeling in the bottom of my stomach knowing that we had gotten Liam the perfect gift for Christmas. He danced, he clapped, he smiled, and shouted...All good practice for the day he turns 21...
Some day, we need to plan a family trip to Disney World. I think he'll faint if he actually gets to touch Mickey.
