I don't remember what the show was called that year (1983?) but I do remember that Big Bird was running around at the end of that runway when a lone yellow feather drifted down onto the floor right in front of us. Kara, being painfully shy for most of her growing up years, wanted that feather. I told her to go get it, but she hesitated and before we knew it, another child snatched it up, obviously thrilled.
It was a fun time, nonetheless, even for me as an adult. It was fun, because not only was I an adult, but I was a mom and I got to experience it through the eyes of my child. Sesame Street Live continues 28 years later, and this year, the show is Elmo's Green Thumb! From the website:
Elmo has raised his sunflower, Sunny, from a seed, but his floral friend has outgrown the flower pot. Elmo and friends find Big Bird’s garden the ideal place for Sunny to flourish and grow but they are too excited to wait. Rather than let Sunny follow nature’s course, Abby Cadabby, Sesame Street’s fairy-in-training, casts a spell to make Sunny grow. The spell does just the opposite and, instead of growing, Elmo and all of his friends shrink!
While Abby searches for just the right words to reverse the spell, Elmo, Zoe,Telly and friends explore Big Bird’s garden from a smaller perspective and learn some big lessons about patience, overcoming their fears and appreciating the role that each creature plays in our ecosystem – from dancing ladybugs and beautiful butterflies to grouchy beetles that scavenge the garden floor. Will being small help Sunny grow tall? It’s a fresh, original Sesame Street Live from a whole new point of view!
Who knows? Perhaps Elmo and friends will be just the ones to inspire new young gardeners to grow their own!
