Storytime Live!

A couple weeks ago we took the kids to see "Nickelodeon's Storytime Live!" show. It had characters from 4 Nickelodeon shows: Dora the Explorer, WonderPets, Ni Hao Kai Lan, and The Backyardigans... all of which Lila was familiar with. Both kids did pretty well through the whole show, but it was very interesting - and amusing - to see the difference between them. Lila sat very still and just took it all in. She participated some... speaking and making hand motions, but she was pretty solemn. (She was like that when we took her to see Elmo a year ago.) Wyatt, on the other hand, would get down on the floor and raise his hands in the air and jump up and down (clearly trying to imitate what the characters on stage were doing!). It was fun to watch... but too dark to get a picture!

Waiting for the show to start.

Here I was experimenting with my camera (point and shoot), trying to take a pic without the flash.

During intermission, the kids had a little snack.

Here's a picture of their last musical number where all the characters sang together.

And here they are on stage for the end. It was interesting to see how the cartoon characters translated to live performance. For those familiar with Nickelodeon, the characters are (L-R): Backyardigan, WonderPets, Dora, Moose & Zee (the NickJr. in-between-shows characters), Kai Lan and friend, another WonderPet and last a Backyardigan in pink. As you can tell, I'm not THAT familiar with them all :)
