A Night on the Town

About six months ago Jayla started watching the Backyardigans. She slowly but surely fell in love with the show and its characters, especially Uniqua. She now screams that obnoxious teenage girl scream when she sees Uniqua on television.

So, naturally when I saw that their live show was going to be playing in Houston, I bought the tickets without a thought. And last Saturday night, Jayla got to see the Backyardigans in "real life".


She loved it. She stared at the stage the entire night, in disbelief, clearly planning to soak in every detail of the show. During the intermission break, she refused to go to the bathroom for fear that they would start back without her. And I guess it paid off because she somehow managed to memorize the entire dialog of the show and continues to recite it on command 7 days later.




You think she's too young to understand the concept of an "early birthday present"?
