Circus: Fail (Kind of)

So, this past week, the circus came to Eau Claire. I told Kirby about it because I figured he and Sarah would want to take Teddy. Well, they decided to go on Tuesday night and on Monday, Kirby asked me if I wanted to come along. I have never been to a circus, so I was considering it, but leaning more towards a no. On Tuesday I had my mind made up and decided I wouldn't go.

Well, Teddy had other plans. After supper, we were cleaning everything up and everyone was asking Teddy about the circus, when I got ready to go, he asked, "Heidi come with to the circus world?" I told him that, no, I wasn't going to come this time, but he would have lots of fun. Well, he continued to ask me and simply would not take no for an answer. I just couldn't resist those big, begging brown eyes.

After I agreed to go, and got made fun of for my inability to say no from both Lucas and Kirby, Teddy asked Lucas to go to the circus too. Lucas replied, "No, Teddy, I'm not going to go, but you'll have fun with Heidi." He was content with that answer.

So, I went to the circus. Teddy was thrilled, when we all piled in the van, he pointed out that my seat was right next to him. Then he pointed out which one was his mommy's seat and his daddy's seat. He was so happy to have all of his favorite people in the whole world with him, going to the circus.

Then, we got to the circus, there was no tent, it was drizzling and was canceled after 20 minutes in. :( Teddy was such a trooper. We were soaking wet and he got to see very little of what he was promised (his main hope was to see an elephant). He sat all nice on my lap for 20 minutes in the rain. It was so worth it to see that little boy so happy. Not to mention, when I was carrying him into the circus when we first got there he looked and me and said, "I like you." I think that made my week. :)
