We took the kids to see the 'Go Diego Go!' live stage show in Seattle on Sunday. We had taken Dylan to see it's cousin Dora live in Buffalo when he was 4 and he loved it and we thought Harry in particular would appreciate the Diego one. I managed to get seats 3 rows from the front so we had an amazing view.
Harry viewed the show with utmost concentration, doing exactly what was asked of him at any one time (jump up and down, wave your jaguar mask in the air!) and didn't crack a single smile because he was so completely engrossed in it. Dylan meanwhile sat beside me pretending he was too old to enjoy it but was singing along and laughing and having a fabulous time. And Tabitha who we'd been fully prepared to have to remove from the situation at any moment, actually sat quietly and watched the entire thing with a fascinated look on her face. She had a nap during the interval!
Harry has talked about the show non stop since we got home. It was fun to see the intense concentration that he applies to things - something his teacher had commented on at school.
Dylan is now bugging me to take him to the High School Musical tour when it comes here. I will, I think. He's really starting to discover music is Dylan, and it's wonderful to watch. I vividly remember starting to listen to my mum and dads tapes (Blondie, Abba) at about his age and discovering this huge, fabulous world of music. In Dylans case we have the High School Musical soundtrack (not too shabby) and he's had me put all the songs onto his iPod and can be found asleep with it blasting in his ears every night, lol. He does have a bit of a scary tendency towards musical theatre though, much like his father and grandmother. Might have to beat that out of him with a large stick. Although, I did actually try to convince him that joining the school musical after school club would be great fun, but he wouldn't!
