Mimi’s Idols

Last week was a big week for Mimi, she got a chance to see 2 of her idols, Eric the Tiger and YoYo Man. On Friday we took Mimi to see a play put on by the Eric the Tiger company. The play was cute and it was a first in which I took Mimi to one of these things. It was basically lots of people in big fluffy costumes including Eric the Tiger. I didn’t really get what was going on but the story involved lots of singing and dancing and eventually everyone becoming friends in the end. Unfortunately they did not allow pictures. Mimi has a great time and sat and watched it no problem. She wanted to shake Eric’s hand so she kept on asking him to come down from the stage. Unfortunately Eric did not come out after the play and take pictures…most likely because he would have been killed being stormed over by an army of kids.

The next day though we were lucky enough to be at a YoYo event at the Miramir Mall during our Special Day. Mimi got to play on the YoYo computer games and meet Big Brother Banana and YoYo Man(which is a guy in a big fluffy yellow costume). There was also lots of singing and dancing. This time though Mimi got a chance to shake hands with YoYo Man. After the show she went up to him and shook his hand then ran back to me laughing.

Overall it was fun for Mimi and ok for me. I have a feeling that there will be many more dancing and singing people in bright colored fluffy costumes in my future.
