Disney On Ice

Ms. Michele and I took Sara to see her very first Disney On Ice. She was thrilled for her girls night out and so excited that she got to wear her Snow White costume for her night on the town.

I was very impressed when we first arrived because we had to wind our way through booths, booths and more booths filled with junk-food toys. Sara merely mentioned that she would like one to which I replied that she can add it to her birthday list and that was that. No meltdowns. I was quite proud of her and figured we would be meltdown free from here on out.

But, Sara fooled me. She did good getting to our seats and waiting for the show to start. However, when the show started and all the princesses came out, Sara lost it when she realized that she would not be the one performing tonight. She wailed that she needed to be out there on the stage with the other princesses. After a brief talk about how she could either stay and dance in the aisle or we could go home, she calmed down and danced in the aisle the rest of the night. Sara would dance right along with the princesses. If they spun around, Sara would spin, if they leaped into the air, Sara would leap, if they were thrown into the air by their prince, Sara would grab onto the railing and try to throw herself into the air. It was precious.

All was the good the remainder of the night (and she stayed up three hours past her bedtime thanks to the Cotton Candy provided by Ms. Michele) until the last curtain drew and Sara had her last meltdown because she was not ready for the show to end.

She can't wait to go back next year - and maybe even bring Georgia and Daddy.
