la_rainetteWe took the girls to the Cirque Du Soleil, yesterday evening, to see Allegria. They went as princesses, complete with wide ballerina skirts and tiaras, and got much attention, which they loved.
We all loved the show, even though at some point during the Poetic Clown number, the poetry was too much for Tadpole and she slid off my knees: "Allez, on y va! (Come on, let's go!)" She said very prosaically, smack in the middle of a Poetically Silent Moment. It took much negotiation, with popcorn as an incentive, to get her to stay, and she would't even discuss keeping her skirt, which she wanted OFF. So she watched the rest of the show in her panties and T-shirt and pink tiara, happily munching on popcorn.
Both girls resisted valliantly and conked out at 10:52, 3 minutes before the end of the show. They slept to the sound of thunderous applause and a well deserved standing ovation. They slept straight through the trip back home, and until the morning. Tadpole is known as being possibly the heaviest sleeper in the world, having once (some timie ago) slept through a complete change of clothes, diaper (with poo) included.
Husband *looks at contortionist* Ow.
la_rainette: Ow, too.
Husband: My god, how does she do it?
la_rainette: She has no spine.
Husband: Or it is made out of marshmallow.
Contortionist *wraps legs around head and stands on hands and...*
Husband and la_rainette, simultaneously: OW!
Flamboyant and beautiful and poetic. (But ow, my back! Just watching her hurt, I swear.)
