WAAAAAYYYYYY back on March 17th (yes, almost a month ago), David and I took Allie to have dinner with Abby Cadabby. For those of you not familiar with Abby, she is a relatively new Sesame Street character that hangs out with Elmo a lot. You might all remember how much fun Allie had at dinner with Elmo back a few months ago (some would say she had too much fun!). So, we decided to try dinner with Abby to see if she enjoyed this just as much....
Allie had a great time at dinner. She was a bit more reserved with Abby than she was with Elmo, and she was also more polite and allowed other kids to visit with Abby as well. Perhaps it's just that she's a bit older now, or perhaps it was that there was about 1/10 as many kids there to see Abby as there was to see Elmo, but the evening went much smoother this time with no tears at all! That's always a bonus!
Allie seems to love Elmo and Abby so much that we've decided to do an Elmo and Abby theme for her second birthday party. I found these great Elmo/Abby invitations:
And, I found this precious Abby dress that is being made for her to wear (complete with bloomers that will be embroidered with the number "2"):
And last, but certainly not least, I've heard that Elmo has accepted our invitation to Allie's party and will be here to celebrate with us! We can't wait!
Oh, and I shouldn't forget that on the same day as dinner with Abby, Allie had a St. Patrick's day feast at school where each child was to bring a green food to share. Green food? Well, the obvious is grapes, apples, etc. I knew there would be tons of fruit and green cookies, so I decided to go with mini-bagels and GREEN cream cheese. It turned out great!
