Yesterday we celebrated our bud Kieran's 2nd birthday at a nearby fun house in Queens. It's the kind of place that just invites kids to run and slide and scream as much as they want. Pretty much perfect. Elisa was in a good mood, but at like any gathering, she had her own ideas of what she wanted to do and when. The play area was so tempting, it was hard to get her to sit still long enough to eat something. There were balloons and pictures of Elmo, and then across the hall another family was celebrating with Dora posted everywhere. For a while, I thought Elisa might decamp to their party room--she was definitely eyeing their decorations.
Seeing Elmo up close and personal should have been the highlight for the kids, but I think it was still a bit overwhelming. Party boy Kieran loved it, despite being a bit under the weather. He was a champ. But Elisa went running and screaming out of the room. Later, she wanted to see the photos of Elmo that I took, and was very happy to grin and point at him. We played some more before heading back home for a much needed nap. Mine.
