In the six months we've been here, we've visited the local branch of the Dallas Public Library at least once a week. (I think we've been more regularly than we've made it to church!) Anyway, the upshot of having J and C charm the librarians each week (and shuffle the kids' DVD section) is that one of those gracious ladies handed us complimentary tickets the other week (and a second gracious librarian made sure we'd been given them when we checked out our books). We're either well-loved or notorious!
And today N took J for a Dad and Son outing to "Big Bird's house" (a.k.a. the show Sesame Street Live) in Grand Prairie. God really blessed us, because not only were the tickets free but while he queued to enter the parking lot (for $15) a woman approached the car and handed N a parking pass to the VIP parking area that she didn't need. So it only cost them the gas to get there and back! (There was a side trip to the Scottish restaurant for a kiddo meal on the way home, since the parking money wasn't used).
There was a play area in the foyer before the show.
The characters were pretty true to the tv version.
J was entranced as soon as the music began.
He cried at intermission, but just said, "Bye bye Elmo. Bye bye Big Bird..." when the final curtain fell.

How delightful! We, too, are frequent visitors at our local public library (I get a little antsy if we don't go regularly), but we've never been given anything like this! I also liked your reference to "The Scottish Restaurant" - that's exactly what we call it!
WOW - what a perfect outing for a wee boy! So neat to read this!
