In the first of many such adventures, we took L to see the latest incarnation of Disney on Ice this weekend.

She sat calmly before the show began. She sat calmly during the show. The only time she showed much emotion — other than clapping — was when someone skated behind the curtain, disappear forever, she was sure.

Does she close her eyes when being thrown around like this?

It was a fairly good production, with a little something for everyone. They stayed with the later Disney films: Lion King, Little Mermaid, and Lilo and Stitch. During the second half they went a little deeper into the Disney catalog, with a fairly long Peter Pan scene.

Unfortunately, they didn’t do any of L’s favorites. Without a doubt, her absolute favorite — thanks to Nana and Papa’s extensive collection — is Dumbo, but no proboscidean adventures were included.
