How to get to Sesame street! Sesame Street Live came to Abilene, and Nana got us tickets. Benton generally doesn't sit still long enough to watch much TV, but Elmo somehow captures his attention (at least for a few moments!)
After dinner and ice cream we headed to the show.
Benton was pretty unimpressed until Elmo and Big Bird came walking out on stage. We had great seats, and Benton was AMAZED. I have never seen him act this engrossed in anything. He sat on Nana's lap not moving or hardly even blinking.
Mesmerized!
Elmo's World was complete with Dorthy the goldfish, Mr. Noodle, and his computer. As someone who has seen quite a few episodes, it was pretty close to what is on tv.
He finally got a hold of himself, and really got into the show. He was clapping and marching right along with all the other kiddies. Any time Elmo left the stage, he immediately begged him to come back.
Benton is still two days later talking about Elmo, Big Bird who was sad, Mr. Noodle, Oscar, Cookie Monster, Abby, Burt, and Ernie. 
Hanner boys in attendance! Hunter was taking pictures on his phone, and sending them out to all his friends. They were all jealous of how he got to spend his evening! Don't worry boys, your times will all come too.
Thanks Nana for a memorable night. I loved getting to watch the happiness on the face of my little man. I'm not sure what it is about Elmo, but to Benton he's a rock star!
