Phoebe has always been very timid especially when in big crowds. The last time when I brought her to watch a play at the esplanade, she was quite intimidated and terrified. When she watched Barney, she came out half way as well. Although Papa thinks that I should stop bringing her to such places until she grows older, but I am still quite persistant in this. I think she shd even go for more to overcome her fear.
So this March holidays is a very exciting one for us as there are a lot of performances for us to go! And I have chose 2 for little Phoebe...
The Magic Teapot @ Asian Civilisations Muesum
Its the Children's First Festival and I have been thinking to buy one of the shows. But the tickets are quite expensive and I was a bit hesitant. Luckily I caught an email blast that within 10pm to 10am oof a certain day, I can get the show tickets at $10! So I bought 3 and hope we can enjoy ourselves at the show. However, the traffic at the area was super bad that day and only me and Phoebe went for the show. Papa had to park far far away and didnt manage to come in time.
Phoebe as expected, was quite resistant to go in. She told me that she was scared. So we waited at the main entrance for a while for her to settle down. And I took the tickets and ask her to hold them and give to the ursher jie jies later. This helped a bit and I carried her to go into the audithorium.
The place was quite small and they allowed children to sit freely at stage front.
However, Phoebe doesnt want to sit there so we sat at our seats.
I held her hand throughout the show and she did enjoy herself! Although she might not fully understand the story, but it was quite music based, so I think she did enjoy the music.
At least she wasn't afraid anymore and she sat through the 45min performance!
I am so proud of her!!
The teapots there were used to make teapot music
The other set of instruments for the nice music
Disney On Ice - Princess Wishes
When the show was launched initially, I thought of bringing Phoebe. But the prices were expensive and I didnt buy the tix.
But one day when we were at Mum's place, the TVC came out and Phoebe say she pointed at the TV and shouted, "Mummy, I want to watch Princess!"...
And she repeatedly tell me whenever she saw the bus-stop ads and TVCs.
And when I was about to buy the tickets one day, Claire msn me and I asked if she wants to go. She was ok and we decided to go together with little Cayla.
Phoebe was so excited and we went to the show yesterday.
The show turned out better than expected. I was quite impressed with the effects where there was fire on the ice rink and fireworks. There was also a bit of acrobatics.
Although they acted each princess story, I don't think Phoebe understands. But at least she enjoyed the whole experience!
