That was fun - thanks Milena.

It was the Telus kids & families Christmas party tonight which was held at the Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People in Toronto. They put on a great party and an excellent production of Bunnicula. I wasn't sold that it was a good idea to begin with, given Alex's current behaviour and attention span, and I got even more concerned when Ana called me as I waited for Zoran, Milena and Alex to arrive. She told me that he'd not really eaten, had an upset tummy and to top things off, the play is aimed at kids 5+. I had visions of him lasting less than 5 minutes.
Turned out I couldn't have been more wrong - apart from his (unfortunately) typical daddy clinginess, he was a delight to be with. He seemed to love the show and ended up asking to back home to see mummy and big baby just 10-15 minutes before the end of the final act. He didn't get upset at any point and joined the other older kids decorating Christmas cookies with a variety of sugary toppings.
We'll do this again!
