Are You My Mother?

The Morrison Center is starting a new family series. The idea behind it is to bring families to the Morrison Center for affordable family friendly shows. A good friend of our family Michal got tickets for the kids, myself and Nonni to go see "Are You My Mother?". "Are You My Mother?" is a children’s story by P.D. Eastman. We have read other stories by this author including my personal favorite "Go Dog Go" but I hadn't read "Are You My Mother?" to the kids. The play was about 45 minutes long and is about a baby bid looking for her mother. The kids did okay considering they are 1 and 2. Michal brought them some snacks to help distract them. Piper wasn't able to pay attention very long but Pennington was. In fact, Pennington understood enough about what was going on that he starting crying towards the end because the baby bird couldn't find her mother. It was super sweet but also a bit distracting to everyone in the audience to have him crying during the middle of the show. This isn't the first time he has cried at something like this. We watched a bit of The Lion King once and he started crying when Mufasa (Samba’s Dad) died. Overall, the play was great. I can't wait to take the kids again next year. Thank you Michal for taking us!!!!
