Last year, we sat to watch Curtain Up – annual dance concert by the Wendy Baker School in Gladstone (it was the same event Kuttyma performed<\/a>). As we watched the dancers create magic in awe and sighed with happiness, kuttyma said “You never take me to many shows these days”<\/em><\/p>\n

She meant that I don’t take her to shows very often. It is true especially after we moved to Gladstone. This small town does not have many such events. I did make an effort to take her to dance, music and theatre kid-friendly events while in Singapore.<\/p>\n

During our recent trip to Houston during the Christmas season, I scoured the listings for various kid-friendly shows around town. I found a couple and made sure we hit them. We went to The Elf at the Theatre Under the Stars<\/a> and The Nutcracker by Houston Ballet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was one of those moments when I miss Houston. The theatre scene is alive. The 2014 lineup is amazing. I wish I could experience it all and share it with kuttyma. As we head back to routine life in Gladstone, I will have to figure out ways to keep her eyes twinkle and glow with wonder.<\/p>\n

In my heart I will always carry kuttyma’s little voice saying “everyone is so beautiful here mommy”<\/em> as she felt the magic take over. It will remain one of the highlights of our Texas visit<\/p>\n
