Barack Live

A few months ago we took the girls to see their first overly commercialized stage show- Playhouse Disney Live. I was disgusted and they were in love. Shortly after the show, they spied an advertisement in the newspaper for Dora Live which will be playing in New York City this spring. Caroline, being the overly observant little thing that she is, noticed that the performance would be taking place around the same time as Katherine's third birthday. Caroline understands that we will not be going to shows like this very often. Therefore, she has been stating frequently what a great birthday treat Dora Live would be for a little girl who loves Dora.

Needless to say, Katherine has been paying attention and has chimed in frequently that she would love to see Dora Live.

This morning, I caught a short segment on the Today Show about a book that the New York Times has recently published. The book features photographs of Barack Obama along the campaign trail. As Katherine watched all the images of Obama flash on the screen, she asked, "Can we go to Obama Live? How do you think we'll be able to get tickets?"

Now, that's a show we would go to... birthday or not!
