Can you tell Nicholas how to get....












... to Sesame Street? Nicholas visited Sesame Place (decked out in his Elmo shirt) this Friday with his friends, Collin and Mya, in Pennsylvania. We started off with breakfast to meet all the characters. He met his buddy Elmo along with Zoey, Ernie, Bert, and Big Bird. When we went up to meet Elmo, Nicholas gave him a high five and kissed his nose but would not let Elmo hold him. We laughed the whole time at his reaction to all of the stars coming up to the table. However, even Big Bird or Bert standing next to him would not stop Nicholas from eating breakfast! I guess I didn't realize how scary life size characters might be to a 2 year old. Loving them on the television screen and seeing them in person might be a little intimidating, don't you think? Nicholas didn't want to ride any of the rides but he did go swimming in the water pools! By the 2 PM parade of characters, Nicholas was fast asleep sweating in his stroller (it was so hot this weekend!!) He ended his day back at the house watching a show with his friends. On our way back to Virginia, we got stuck in major traffic so we found a Chuck E. Cheese to torture Nicholas with-- again, he was afraid of the life sized mouse but enjoyed the pizza! It was a hysterical weekend where if we didn't laugh, we would cry!! Thank God for toddlers!
