Pretend City

A couple of weeks ago I took Elizabeth over to Pretend City
(a.k.a. Kiddie Nirvana). Check out their website if you want to learn more-- pretendcity.org

Needless to say, she loved it. We got there at 10 a.m. and I had to drag her out at 12:30 owing to my own exhaustion. And you will gather from watching the video that the "amibient" noise was sort of a mixture between a rock concert and being a foot away from a building being demolished. For a girl who wears hearing aids, you'd think she would be a little uncomfortable. It seems, however, her ear buds are working pretty well since she didn't seem at all bothered by the noise. I, on the other hand, will wear ear plugs next time.


The ATM was her favorite spot at Pretend City--hey who could blame her? It seemed she had access to an account that had a fair amount of cash. You will also see that she is a tad upset when some of the money gets stuck in the ATM.



And here she found "her" stage. And she didn't want to get off of it. She just hopped up and stage and started singing and dancing with whomever and however. In this clip she seems to have hooked up with a "less than enthused" Backstreet Boy who decided that it wasn't good for his image to be seen with a 2.9 year old.



Just after the ATM, the gas station was her favorite place. She loved pumping gas. I didn't explain to her that it was unlikely she would all the cash she seems to like if she made that her profession. Oh well, as long as she is happy.
