The Circus - Not All I Envisioned
Jaimie on Jan 28th 2008
I have to admit, I’d never been to the circus before taking CJ with his class on Friday. And apparently in my brain, I had this idealized idea of what a circus was like - the lights, the animals, the trapeze - and it was very exciting.
Well, honestly, I wasn’t excited, and neither was CJ. He liked a few of the acrobatic performances (but certainly not all of them) and the animals, he really was not thrilled with. He mostly wanted to climb on his seat and play with his balloon. I can’t blame him, because I was pretty bored myself. The acts just weren’t exciting, and I felt bad for the bears. They looked sad.
During the tiger act (about 2/3rds of the way through the show), CJ asked to go to the car, and so we did. We didn’t even get to see the elephants. And the elephants were what I thought CJ’d like the best. But he wanted to go, and so we did.
I don’t think another circus trip is in our immediate future.
