Altogether Now.....

"...Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh...
Winnie the Pooh...
Willy nilly silly old bear."


We celebrated my 29th (again) birthday yesterday by taking Jacob to see Disney Live! Winnie the Pooh and we all had such a great time! Jacob absolutely loved it and it was so fun to watch his face light up as each of the characters came out on stage. Each time someone made their entrance, he called their name loudly, "Nook...Mammit!!!!! ( Look, Rabbit)" "Nook.....Woooo" (Roo) "Nook...Tee-gah!!! (Tigger) "Nook...Pooh!" He was so excited! He danced and clapped and cheered through the whole show.





Of course, Jacob had his moments where he got a little distracted. Heath was astonished that we could be sitting in the third row, directly in front of the stage where Winnie the Pooh, himself, was standing and talking, yet Jacob still wanted to sit on the floor and go through my purse. Oh, well. That only lasted a few seconds before his eyes were back on the stage.



The fun began the second we walked in the door when Jacob saw all the sales booths set up with all kinds of ridiculously priced Winnie the Pooh toys, cups, hats, shirts, etc... Of course, we caved into the hype and bought a couple things. Who wouldn't?



I wish we would have captured this particular moment on video. When we handed this light up toy to Jacob, he pushed the button and started to shake with excitement as the bees lit up and spun around. His mouth was wide open as he watched it and whispered, "Wooooooooooooowww!"

Hmmmm...decisions, decisions. Which cup should I choose?

Ok.....notice how big this cup is. Notice how much blue lemonade is in this cup. Jacob drank this throughout the hour and a half show. Knowing how fast he drinks a little juice box, I should have counted on him chugging this too. By the end of the show, the cup was almost empty (Heath did have a few sips). Jacob drank so much of it so quickly that he completely saturated his diaper beyond its capacity. When Heath stood up at the end of the show, he couldn't figure out why his shorts were wet. Then we looked at Jacob and realized what had happened. Jacob had been sitting in Heath's lap and the diaper just didn't hold up. Oops! Glad I brought extra pants...for Jacob. Unfortunately, Heath just had to dry out.


Jacob wanted to sit in his own seat most of the time; although, he didn't weigh enough to keep the seat down. It was always folded halfway up, but he enjoyed "rocking" it back down. To him, the seat was almost as much fun as the show!

Worn out from the day's activities.

We went to church Sunday morning and then out to eat. Jacob fell asleep on the way home, but woke up when we arrived and never went back to sleep. So, he didn't get the nap I was hoping for before we left to see Winnie the Pooh. That explains this next video.

Needless to say, he took a bath and went right to sleep as soon as we went inside. He slept soundly all night long, probably dreaming of Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and all his other pals.
