Circus!!

Nathan and I had our first trip to the circus this weekend. He was mezmorized!! He said almost completely still for almost 2 hours! It was so much fun to watch him, that I barely watched what else was going on.

My mom accompanied us, and Nathan had a great time being with his Bubie. This was a day full of firsts - first ride on the subway, first taste of cotton candy (YUCK!!), and first time at the circus.

I thought he might be too young, but thanks so much Jennifer for encouraging us to go!!

Here are a few pictures from our special day.

Fun!!!

It looks like you all had fun! I bet Nathan did love the circus! You are a good Mommy for taking him even if you aren't a fan of the circus!!!

I gave Connor his first taste of cotton candy a few weeks ago and he loved it!

I love the pics.!!!

Nathan looks like such a grown up boy. Who knew a 2 year old would be so into the circus . . . I'm a first time mom, too, so I wouldn't have known that. Thanks for sharing the pics!

He looks so darn cute sitting in his seat like a big boy!

Okay so now I'm really jealous. It's official, Nathan does more travelling and goes to more places in a year than I have in a lifetime

Such a sweetheart!

OMG, is he not adorable with those chubby cheeks? Looks like he had a fabulous time. Sitting still for two whole hours seems like a miracle.

How fun!

Those pics are great, and it certainly looks like he had a blast! Personally, I didn't care much fo the circus and it was my first time to ever go! It's too high tech now, not like I always saw it depicted on TV. No doubt about it though, the little ones love it, at least mine did. Nathan is too cute in that giant hat!

Looks like Nathan had a wonderful time at the circus!! I can't wait until Bryce gets a little older for all of her "firsts"... She's very much TOO antsy to sit still long right now...

Cute Rena..
We went to Ringling Brothers a few weeks ago, is that the one you went to? Ana's memory so far is how the elephant had lot's of poop coming out while his backside was facing us!
