Back in May we surprised Evan with a fun evening including pizza and ... Sesame Street Live! He was just getting into the characters, but ever since that fateful evening he's clamored to watch an episode or read a book every chance he gets. The show brought out all the characters in a story centered around what each one wanted to be when s/he grows up. Grover wanted to be a police monster, Ernie and Bert wanted to be Forest Rangers, and Big Bird didn't know... until he figured out he was a super Director of the gang's Pageant!We weren't sure how the show would go over. After all, this child is currently deathly afraid of mascots up close. CavMan sends him into a shaking, screaming fit. However, Evan sat through the whole show completely mesmerized by the lights and sounds and characters - who kept their distance. He clapped along with some songs, but mostly stared, open-mouthed, and didn't move a muscle. I'm not sure if he ever figured out what was really going on, but he didn't hate it. If his new-found love of all things Big Bird (including the characters on his diapers) is any indication, it was a trip he hasn't forgotten.
