So mom came and got to see NYC!!! It was great having her here. She did lots of mom things...like my laundry and we got to see so many SHOWS!!! I think both of us like In The Heights the best. I cried in almost every song, I don't even know why. I think this acting school thing is making me even more emotional. IT WAS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL!! DONT JUDGE ME!!! I am exhausted from going going going. We got up at 5:40 am for the macy's parade and about that time for the Today show (I don't even want to talk about my experience at the Today show! ... all I will say is those little third graders in moms class better have been watching!!!) In conclusion I leave you with mom's pro's and con's to Lone Ranger travel to NYC! (but didn't the Lone Ranger have a side kick, Tanto or something...that doesn't make him very Lone : /
