Last night we took Nate to his first broadway production, The Lion King, in Charlotte. He was on the edge of his seat the entire time! It warmed my musical theater loving heart to see him so excited about it. The best part of the show however for him came at the curtain call when Mufassah, who is killed during the show, came running out for a bow. Nate screamed 'He's alive!!!! He isn't dead mommy!!!'. I was so focused on calming his fears about the scary hyenas and the wicked 'Scar' that I had failed to explain to Nate that when Mufassah died he was just pretending, so it made for a very happy ending to the show! His favorite tune was of course, Hakuna Matata, and he and Grant have been singing along to it all day in the car and dancing around the house. 'It means no worries, for the rest of our days... it's our problem free, philosophy... Hakuna Matata!' Love those boys...
