Playhouse Disney Live

Let me begin this post by saying that Joey was barely interested in any television shows until about two months ago when mommy was in her last month of pregnancy and never felt like doing anything - especially in the morning. As a result, the television at our house stayed on more everyday and Joey slowly became immersed in the world of Playhouse Disney. It's now become part of the routine for him to watch one or two (okay, maybe three) Playhouse Disney shows every morning after breakfast. So when we found out that Playhouse Disney Live was coming to town, we just had to go!

We decided to make it special alone time for Joey to spend with mommy and daddy so while Aunt Janet stayed with Owen at home, the three of us ventured to the show. The week leading up to the show, we talked everyday about who he was going to see - Mickey and the gang, Tigger & Pooh, Handy Manny and Little Einsteins - so much so that by the time we got in the car Joey was giddy. Since Joey had never been to anything like this before, we didn't quite know what to expect, but with help from a bucket of popcorn, he made it through the entire performance without any fussing and was actually pretty amused by the show. Next year we may try the circus!

Keeping his eyes on the action onstage but definitely going in for some popcorn

Oh look...it's Tigger & Pooh!

That's exciting and all, but I need some more popcorn...

Intensely watching as Donald and the gang perform the Hot Dog Dance

And then, of course, stuffing the last bits of popcorn into his mouth

Somewhere along the way got tired of sitting with mommy and daddy and decided to sit on the steps instead
