Madilyn’s First Theater Experience

Nana and I took Madilyn to her first theater-going experience: “If You Give a Cat a Cupcake” based on the book by Laura Numeroff, illustrated by Felicia Bond. Her Nana had given her the book and the stuffed animal a couple of days ago and she also wore a new kitty cat outfit to the play. It was a cute play, and Madilyn sat on the edge of her seat absolutely spellbound for a solid 30-40 minutes. Then she was ready to go home.

We kept her occupied until the play finished (it was an hour long total). We went with our friends’ playgroup from the Fawn store in Sanford. We had center seats on the very back row but they were good seats since it’s a small theater. I was proud of Madilyn for sitting through the whole play! She sat on my lap during the parts when the lights were low, but overall she was a very respectful theater goer.

On the way home we stopped by Publix for a few groceries and Nana got Madilyn a sugar cookie with sprinkles on it from the bakery (sprinkles play a major part of the story on said cupcake). So now she knows how sprinkles taste. When she came home she told her Daddy that she had been to a “kitty cat show” where a cat ate a “cupcake with sprinkles.” It was a very accurate review.
