On Tuesday night we went to Daddy's school for the fall band concert featuring the middle and high school bands. I let Cara have the run of the place for 1/2 an hour before the concert to "wear" her out so she would sit on my lap during the concert. In fact she was walking up and down the aisle and when Scott first appeared on stage she yelled "Dad" and headed down to see him and was halfway up the stage steps when he saw her. So she got a big hug and kiss from Daddy, but he had work to do so we headed back up the auditorium. So when the concert began we sat in our seat, in the back row to make for an easy exit if needed. About halfway through the first song she decided she wasn't done walking around, so off she went. In the sound booth and back out, outside the doors, up and down the ramp, laying on the floor, etc. You get the idea. At least she was quiet when she was busy walking. This is a really rough age to make it through a concert on Mommy's lap. But soon she will realize this is Daddy's job and she will enjoy attending! One can wish can't she!!

Looks like a fun evening---so glad that she cooperates (for the most part)---I do have sad news though....Ali HATES shoes on her feet. So much for the cute sparkly pink ones :)
