On Wednesday, grandma, mommy, Ella and I went into NY and saw a matinee of Mary Poppins on Broadway. This was Ella’s first Broadway show. We were sitting center orchestra, row J. When the curtain went up, Ella began to shake and was overwhelmed. She jumped onto mommy’s lap. After about 10 minutes, she was in her own seat thoroughly loving the show. It was so much fun to be with Ella to experience something so magical. After the show, we waited at the stage door for the actors to come out. The only actor who didn’t make it out was Mary Poppins, but Ella got autographs and photos with the other main characters. Ella also got the Mary Poppins umbrella and purse and she said, “Why don’t we get an umbrella for Stella and Juliet?” We asked her if this would be their present from NY, and she said, “yes” so we did. In the evening, Emma and James came over and Ella had a blast with them.
