Newsies and a Birthday Interview

Talmage only wanted one thing for his birthday--to see Newsies on Broadway! He's been begging to see it for almost six months now and I told him that Broadway shows are for kids 5 and up so he could go and see it for his 5th birthday if he wanted. Well, it's all anyone has heard about since! Through a stroke of righteous luck (and a really great friend) we scored two free tickets to the show the night before we left for Florida. It was the perfect early birthday present for Talmage and he and Daddy had a really special date night. 

 

The boys sitting in their amazing seats! T knew almost every word of almost every song and was in heaven throughout the entire show.

Broadway shows are super long and this one didn't even start until 8 pm, but that didn't keep T from insisting that they stayed to meet all of the actors at the stage door. Such a little party animal!

If someone was being mean to your brother, what would you do? Um, hm, I don’t know. I’ll give him a hug and a kiss maybe. Maybe that would make him feel better.

Who is your best friend? I don’t know cuz every preschool friend is my favorite friend. Even Spencer who already moved.

What is something you want to learn to do this year? I really don’t know, cuz I can’t think of one. HUH!!! OH yeah, snowboarding! Snowboarding!
