TRS: The Big Show


Shiny Happy People by R.E.M.

The bulk of our weekend centered around one major event, so the bulk of the chatter (and photos) will be about that.

On Saturday morning, I got to sleep in for a bit, and when I woke up I discovered the munchkin working on a puzzle (for the the third time that morning):


After that, went to our regular music class, where we learned that we were in the local community paper (they had been in our class in December and snapped a photo of the munchkin and I). Since it's not blog-safe, I'm not posting the link here. But, if you know me (and I know you) and you're interested, email me and I can send the link your way.

We came home, had a quick bite to eat, and drove to the subway station. We rode the rocket downtown and walked a couple blocks to the CBC building for this:


What is that, you ask? Why, it is a dress rehearsal for a Kids' CBC live show that was about to start touring Canada. Since we were insanely early, we actually got front.row.seats! Plus, seeing as it was a rehearsal, it was free! Oh yeah, baby, we scored large. (OK, technically all the props go to MTM for seeing this in a newsletter, emailing back and forth, and securing a spot on the list.)

Curious George was there:


As was Bo from Bo On The Go:


(Incidentally, for those Canadian readers - or those who get CBC - Bo On The Go is an amazing new show for toddlers. It's all about physical activity, and makes television watching much more interractive than other attempts such as Dora or Diego.)

It was incredible to see the munchkin's face light up. She was so into the show, singing and dancing and clapping and yelling at all the characters. (Although she did have trouble with the concept of people - specifically Bo and George - going off stage at points... she was always worried they weren't coming back.)

And at the end, she got to see them on stage together:


On Sunday, nothing much of note happened, other than Mommy/daughter bonding over baking:


How were they? I christened them "stinky feet muffins".

OMG! That is too cool -- The bunny must have been so happy! I know Sausage would have flipped out -- ge loves Bo on The Go, as well as Patty and Sid. We are going to get out for one of the shows should they come our way.

That show sounds great! Way to score front row tickets!!!
We've never seen Bo on the Go.
But, we'll check it out. We're currently into Playhouse Disney.

PS Send the link! Please.
