Last night Ellie and I attended a production of, The Artistocats. It was presented by Playtime Poppy and a local high school. Little did I know that Playtime Poppy has been around in Cedar Rapids for 59 years!!! They collaborate with 4 different area high schools in Cedar Rapids a year to put on shows for children. It only cost us $3 to go and lasted about 45 minutes...perfect for Ellie. I didn't have any expectations going in to the play and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!. Ellie loved it sang along, and really got into the story. She would get upset and yell "oh no" when something bad happened to Duchess and her kittens.:) It was really cute and fun to see it with Ellie. We got into the auditorium a little early and were able to get a really good seat. Funny thing though about the seats....I took Ellie's coat off and sat her in a seat which immediately flopped back in on her. She doesn't weigh enough to hold the seat down, it never crossed my mind. The look on her face was priceless as she was helplessly folded into the chair. She had to sit on my lap the entire time...neither she nor I minded though :)
