Under the Big Top

Barnum & Bailey AND Ringling Bros. came to Dallas with one big circus.  I thought Mia would enjoy it because she loves animals.  Wesley got a discount on tickets through the city he works for, so we decided to go.  I felt sure that she would love it, but Wes was worried that she would have a meltdown because the show we chose was right around naptime.  In reality, her reaction was somewhere in between, although I feel sure that she enjoyed it.  The tigers and elephants were fun to watch, but there just weren't as many animals as I thought there would be.  I was feeling pretty confident in Mia's potty training abilities, so I decided to take her out in public for the first time without a Pull-Up.  She did great, but we had to go to the bathroom four times while we were at the circus.  Mia loves elephants due to her current Dumbo craze, so of course her keepsake from the circus had to be a pachyderm.  Side note:  Mia took her first escalator ride (well, the first one that she wasn't carried on).  I love documenting "firsts", so I wanted to put that one on here.


Pointing to the elephants-her fave
 This elephant was carrying a dog in a basket
 I guess you can't have a circus in Texas without a longhorn cow and a couple of goats.

 We barely got a few blocks and she was out!
