After a dinner at home, we went down the street to the CRC amphitheater to attend the city's Hullabaloo concert. Hullabaloo consists of two gentleman who play folky children's songs, so it was perfect for us.

Katie, with a scarf they passed out, listens to the music and thinks about dancing. There were also kid-appealing snacks and juice provided.
Waiting patiently for the concert to start.

After a few songs, Katie wanted to go down to the floor and dance----and boy, did she dance! She danced for the rest of the concert: spinning, twirling, stomping, waving. She is a dancing machine. They played a bunch of original songs, but then Hullabaloo also covered a bunch of standards that we know, too. Katie sang all of "Twinkle, Twinkle" with them.
Dancing! She asked me to take her sweater off so she could twirl better. Bill has some other pictures on his iPhone from farther away, but I haven't had a chance to peek at those yet. Katie had so much fun, and afterwards she kept talking about how she loved the dancing.
Although the concert ended fairly late (8:00), since Katie had had a good nap, we decided to enjoy some hot cocoa at Starbucks before they closed. She has never been at night, nor has she ever had her own drink, so this was extra special for her. She felt like such a big girl. She talked about being able to do this because she is now a "big sister." It is so cute how she is liking that role more and more and understanding that being a "big sister" has certain perks, privileges, and advantages. Anyway, here is a picture of Katie with her first-ever Starbucks drink, a yummy hot chocolate which she loved!!! (By the way, I asked the barista to make Katie's a cooler temp, and the barista absolutely got the temperature perfect for a toddler---nicely done, Starbucks, nicely done)!What a lovely date with our daughter!
