We decided to go ahead and try taking Alexis to the Circus. I had no idea whether she would actually sit down and watch anything, but we got her ticket for free so why not. It was a rainy day, so it was perfect to spend the day inside. Noah stayed at home with Grandma Rose and slept most of the time.
I don’t think she knew what to think at first, but once the lights went out an all the toys lit up the room, she was a bit mesmerized.
My plan was to go without a light up toy for the first half and then get her one at intermission, hoping if her attention span was getting short, it would be something new. It worked! So after we let her pick out a toy, we went and saw Grandpa and Cousin Cole, who were working the concession stand.
We got us all a couple snacks while we were down there too… some nachos and hotdogs for mom & dad and one of those giant pickles. Alexis took a bite and actually liked it! Once the show started again and the lights turned of, she joined all the other kids in waving her light-up wand in the air. She knew exactly what to do without us showing her how.
And then the animals started coming out again. She was extremely excited about the sheep dogs that ran around in circles and down a see-through tube slide. Then the elephants did their thing. Pretty impressive!
She was so impressed, we took her down below to see them a little closer as people took a ride (a very expensive ride).
By then, it was time for a nap. She fell asleep in the car before we were able to get home.
