I love everything about this. So glad you and Max got to make this memory together. As my kids have gotten older, the couple of concerts we’ve been able to go to have been such a cool shared experience.

I love this so much! I have a 6 year old boy who is super curious and super sweet. I'm a better mom out of the house than in (the pandemic was ROUGH), so we do try and have lots of adventures.

We went to an Edinburgh Fringe event this week and as we were walking in, T said "let's sit in the back, in case they want the audience to do things...". I learned that while he'll chat up any adult who might tell him a fun fact (thank you to our electrician who explained how to rewire a plug yesterday, but gently rebuffed his request to "give it a go!"), he's not an audience participation kid.

ooh but he's good at asking for what he needs! YOU probably taught him that!

This was delightful. And now makes me want to try taking my 7-year-old to a concert...or maybe that's the FOMO I feel after seeing everyone taking their kids to Taylor Swift here in LA this week. *sob*

DO IT! FWIW, my kid insists that Eras would be too long for him anyway. Carly Rae Jepsen is coming to LA this weekend! (I'm flying down, it's my concession prize for not blowing my savings on Taylor).

Well I DO have tix to see Maggie Rogers at the Bowl on Sunday night but I don't think I should uninvite my friend in favor of my kid...but maybe if my friend flakes (see: LA) I'll take her ;)
