Pinkalicious

We are lucky to live in a city where they have a dedicated children’s theater.  Plays are geared for littles but it has a grown-up feel.  Time is shortened for younger attention spans and my husband has often said he enjoys the kiddo shows over the “regular” theatre.  My little one LOVES pink.  She adores it.  She LIVES for it!  And the name of the last play of the season was called “Pinkalicious.”  Based upon the popular children’s book, Pinkalicious loves pink cupcakes.  She loves them so much she eats too many and gets “pinkititus”!  What to do?!  It proves one CAN have too much of a good thing.  For me it would be blue.  But it shows the importance of eating vegetables and other things and how one can still love pink.  It was a darling show and I think my baby doll had a blast wearing all her beloved pink.  We made it a girl’s night and I even wore pink in my hair, for which I got a lot of compliments, getting into the spirit of things and willing to have pink hair.  (It was just clip on pieces; not dye.)  Anyway, we had a great time and my daughter got a little more exposure to the theater, which was an integral part of my childhood.  I suppose my most memorable experience was playing Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz” in the sixth grade.  A part of me wishes I had continued past a brief stint as Maria in “The Sound of Music.”  Who knows?  Maybe she will want to take up musicals as I did.  At the very least I hope she can respect and enjoy them as an adult.  American football player and coach Vince Lombardi once said, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”  I hope my daughter catches excellence.
