Night at the Theater

Last night Mia and I went to see the Pinkalicious musical at the Dallas Children's Theater.  That's one of Mia's favorite books about a little girl who has a love for pink on par with Mia's.  I think I enjoyed it as much as she did.  She could see well and was so excited at the prospect of seeing Pinkalicious.  She wore her pink dress, and I put her hair in pigtails so that she would look like Pinkalicious.  We bought the crown and wand when we got there to complete the ensemble.  She wore the crown and held onto the wand for about 3/4 of the entire musical.  She kept looking to me and making exclamations like, "Look Mommy!  There's her brother Peter!" and "Hey, there's the cupcakes!!"  She didn't like that there was an intermission.  She asked where everyone (the actors) went, and I told her that they were taking a short break but would be back soon.  She asked, "But why do they need to rest?  I want to see Pinkalicious!"  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the actress portraying Pinkalicious's mother was a girl that I went to high school with!  That was in another state!  I was glad to see a gal from my hometown doing well in the Dallas theater system.  I was able to talk to her briefly after the musical was over.  It's such a small world!
