Sunday night the entire family and some friends (15 of us in all) visited the circus in San Antonio! It was Casey, Brady, Grandma, and Grandpa’s first time too! My parents took me when I was a teenager but I didn’t remember much about the experience other than elephants and tight rope walkers but it ended up being a lot of fun. Not something that I’d need to do every year, but still fun.
Brady didn’t get into it quite as much as I had hoped though. My parents bought her a hat and that stayed on for quite a bit of the evening before passing it off to me and finally having to take it off because other people couldn’t see. We offered her cotton candy and I don’t know if it was the texture or what but she didn’t want anything to do with it. She was perfectly content to eat her nachos – that she called chips and queso. Cheesy flavoring, yes. Queso, no. She also had fun pointing out the flashing signs that were above the performers heads. One of them was of stars and another one she liked was during a period where there were tightrope walkers or something and the announcer said quiet in the audience and that’s when she piped up to point out the letters she saw on the sign. I thought it was cute and kind of funny she chose that moment to pipe up.
Brady was relieved at intermission and ran around in the corridor the entire time. When we got back to our seats, she was not longer interested in the show and asked (demanded) to watch Abby on my phone. This is what she did for the remainder of the show, with Maebry peeking over her shoulder from time to time to check it out. Our friend’s daughter, Maebry, did remarkably well and watched the entire show, paying attention, and not fussing. Brady’s attention span is not quite there yet but she is getting better and adapted to the situation. Thank God for my phone!
As you might have noticed from the new button in our sidebar, I have another blog – a mommy blog. I started back in January but didn’t really start telling anyone until the last few weeks because I was embarrassed about it. I can’t even keep up with this blog, how much of a joke would it be to know I had another blog?! But somehow I have managed to keep up with it and have gotten some really great review opportunities out of it (like 20 circus tickets) and made some friends one of whom got me a work-at-home job! So if you want to check it out, the link is there. And if you want to buy something from Amazon, there’s a link on the right side of the page too (it’s an affiliate link so I don’t get much but it’s something and all you have to do is go to Amazon from the link and I’ll get credit).
So there ya have it, I’ve been staying busy with Brady, my blog, and my job.
Yes, it was amazing to watch Kelly & Casey with Brady at the circus enjoying her reactions and of course, we were excited to see them, as well. What a great time was had by all 4 generations. Maebry was adorable, as well, with her little thumb in her mouth- enthralled with at everything going on!!!
I was so glad that Brady wore her hat for so long and gave us some photo ops- maybe, she will develop a taste for cotton candy-it wasn’t the freshest in the world! We enjoyed meeting some of the kids’ friends and families. Thanks for the tickets Kelly and the company-a good time was had by all!
