Alice in Wonderland, Jr

Ian and I purchased tickets to go see the Children's Theater production of Alice in Wonderland, Jr at the Vive Les Arts Center today. Ian and I were both incredibly excited and we were not disappointed!! The kids were all fantastic! We were pretty partial to the parts of the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, and Lily of the Golden Afternoon Girls since they happened to be played by the daughters of a friend. They should all be proud of their performances! Ian sat on the edge of his seat mesmerized by the whole thing. I had to shake him out of a daze for intermission and a snack and when we went back for the 2nd Act he was instantly right back watching intensely. When the show ended and it was time to go, Ian said, "Mommy, play it again please!" So cute!

We went out to meet and greet the actors and got to really meet Knitter's girls: Guitargirl, Miss Kaboom and Miss Creativity! They are all 3 very wonderful young women and were so nice to Ian. He kept jumping up and down so giddy to actually meet the characters from the show. I snapped a several pictures from our day and hope you bear with me since I am going to post them all! (And I hope Knitter is okay with me posting the pics of her girls, but you have to see their beautiful faces in their costumes. Unfortunately, Miss Creativity snuck off before we got a chance to capture her picture.)

Here Ian and I are ready for the show! Look how excited he is!

And then waiting in the lobby with our tickets. Forgive the grainy pics from my iPhone.

    You are not at all scary looking. Ian wasn't the least bit afraid of you. He didn't hesitate once after he realized you were a friend.

    What a fun, fun time! I just love all the pictures! I am glad that you are able to have time alone with Ian. I need to do that with Taylor.

    The 1 on 1 time with Ian makes all the difference in him. I find that I really have to schedule it in and MAKE it happen, but it really does us both good. His behavior is so much better and it's great positive attention. We put it on the calendar and then talk about it. I'm not sure how we'll schedule it with school and work, but we'll make something happen!
