We didn't tell him what we were doing until we sat down in our seats. He wasn't really sure what an ice skating show was, so he happily played with his Toy Story activity kit (thank you Target after-Christmas clearance!) until the lights went down and the music went up.
When he saw Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy come out to introduce the show--well, it was like he saw his four-best friends down below. He grinned the grin of a child; the one that is full of magic and wonder. He was even happier to see Woody, Buzz, Jesse, Ham, Rex, and the rest of the Toy Story gang for the next two hours.
My son, the one that can hardly hold still long enough to fall asleep, sat quietly for two hours and watched the skating, listened to the music, and enjoyed all of the lighting special effects. So did Baby-E! She slept for about twenty-minutes, but spent the rest of her mid-morning in my lap alert and curious as to what was happening around her.
And props to Disney on Ice and Conseco Fieldhouse for putting on a 10:30 a.m. show on a Thursday! The crowd was SMALL, so we had room to spread out, less people to contend with for parking, and not as much hassle walking through the concourse trying to stay together as a family. These are the times I'm thankful for the flexibility in Hubby's job; and the fact he knows what personal time is and uses it for special events with his little family. And for that, I love him dearly.
