If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

When will it begin?? The kids were so excited this morning, and also very ready to see the Children's Theater production of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" (see Wednesday's post).

We arrived at the Sheldon in plenty of time for the 10:00 am performance, and after finding our seats in the balcony, we had to wait about 10 minutes until showtime. It was hard to wait!

The stage seemed really far away, but we could tell the setting was the kitchen of the boy's house. I couldn't take pictures during the performance, so since we had a few minutes before showtiome, I went backstage and.....


I got my picture taken with the Mouse, Dean Holt, former 1st grade student of mine (again, see the next post)!!

The show was awesome, and the kids laughed through the whole thing. Ask your child if he/she can tell you at least five funny details from the play, and chances are, you'll hear a lot more than that!

Hint: ask for details about the hair, the bubbles, the hammer and "snails," the refrigerator, the vacuum cleaner, the bucket, the sponges, and changing clothes for naptime, if your child is having a hard time remembering.
