Phantom Birthday

My wonderful husband took me to see Phantom of the Opera in Portland last night for my birthday. It was a great production - this Phantom was far superior to the last one who danced around the stage like he was going to wet his pants.

This time, I got chills a few times while watching it. There was an unintentionally funny moment where Christine got her dress caught on the boat and finally tore it free to get over to the Phantom in time to pull off his mask - kind of a pivotal moment and you could see her getting desperate to make it in time!

I was showing Anya the souvenier program today and she wants to keep looking at it over and over again. On each page she points to Erik and says "Pantim! Pantim!" She was also very excited to make the connection that the movie poster hung in our bedroom also has the "Pantim" on it.

**sniff** makes a geek mommy proud

She did good! She drank the whole bottle eventually - it took about an hour and she was unhappy, but she did it and then was content. It's not something we'll unless really necessary but at least we know it's possible now! Maybe I had to be completely out of the building for it to work...
