I had never been to a Cirque du Soleil performance before. M had never been to circus before. I decided the money spent would be worth the experience. It's been a couple weekends ago now, but I took M to 8 p.m. Saturday night show of Corteo. Fabulous!
I sometimes wonder if I'm a little hard on my child, and with work and school I feel like I don't get to put as much fun into our lives as I should. Sometimes it's money, but most of the time, it's lack of time and no energy. This night was just for me and M.
We went to dinner at Red Robin (come on, my date was a 7 year old, what did you expect?). We watched Corteo. M sat in awe the entire show. When I asked how she liked it, I actually got a "Wow Mom, this is so cool. This was worth waiting in traffic." Towards the end she was so tired she could barely keep her head up and her eyelids were so heavy, I asked her if she wanted to go home. She told me no, we are staying for whole thing.
We had a wonderful night. And in hindsight, I realized that I made my daughter's first circus experience Cirque du Soleil. I have set future expectations so freakin' high that a normal circus just isn't gonna cut it... EVER!
