Leah was so excited that she was up at 6am (even after strong encouragement the night before to sleep in). Since it was on Tuesday - her first Tuesday of summer break- we were at home. She did attempt to take a nap. The attempt lasted about 20 minutes before she came out and asked if she could be done. So, I had her play quietly for a bit. Then, she asked for her nails to be done and her hair. She then got dressed. It is now 2pm and she is ready to go! Oh, and we listened to the "Speak Now" CD multiple times during the day.
Daddy got home and showered. Finally they were off to the show. They left in plenty of time to get something to eat at the Excel Center. Joe thought they would sit down to eat at a restaurant. But, Leah would have none of that...she just wanted to eat from the concessions. So, they had pizza. Then, she wanted to go to their seats. They got to their seats at 6pm for the show which started at 7pm! The people next to them had many glow sticks. The young lady (about 13) sitting next to Leah made her a glow necklace and many glow bracelets. So nice.
The show starts. Opening act - Need to Breath (never heard of them) - Leah fell asleep! Don't worry, she wakes up for Taylor! According to Leah, there were fireworks even though it was inside, and she sang under a tree, and she wore pretty dresses, and she played the thing that she got when she was at the place Mrs Klar went to. Oh, it is so fun trying to follow a 6 year old. Let me translate - Mrs. Klar (K teacher) went to Hawaii, Taylor told a story of going to Hawaii and getting a ukulele which she proceeded to play while singing "Fearless." When I asked what song she liked best, she said all of them! Joe told me that she got very excited when Taylor was wearing a purple dress - Leah's favorite color. So, the concert ended about 10:30, Leah didn't make it through the entire show, she took a cat nap and missed about 10-15 minutes at the end. Joe was able to wake her for the last song, but she somehow managed to sleep through thousands of screaming girls wanting an encore! During the last song, "Love Story," Taylor was floating around the arena in a basket - Joe says that she pointed toward them as she went. Leah thought that was cool. Of course, after the show, she was wide awake! Joe did humor me, he took the camera - and even took lots of pictures! I am so glad that they were able to share this special night together. It sounds like they both had a great time.
