Annada Marie Vergo

Heading into the theater.

Our local theater is running a musical made from the book Pinkalicious. In the book a girl eats so many pink cupcakes she turns pink!

Marc and I decided to take Annada. When we showed her the ad, she was excited. But after we showed her a clip of the musical, she became ecstatic – dancing around, singing and shouting that she wanted to be Pinkalicious too.

Even Daddy dressed up.

All week we had fun as a family looking forward to the show. Annada and I bought the stuff to make pink cupcakes and I even pulled out a new pink dress I had craigslisted for her. We had the whole day planned. We went to the library and tried to find the book. They didn’t have it, but Annada picked out other books with pink themes. And we watched a video of someone reading the book on YouTube everyday.

Hugging Pinkalicious.

The night before the play I got SICK. The most horrible stomach flu I’ve ever had. I was bummed to miss out. But the theater let me move my ticket, so Annada and I will get to go in couple of weeks.

Annada looked adorable. And Marc told me she was the pinkest kid around. Everywhere she went people hammed it up with her by calling her Pinkalicious and clapping as she danced for them. And Annada danced and sang her way through the crowd.

Ever since she has been climbing up on our coffee table and singing and dancing her heart out. She will call, “Mommy, Daddy, hurry! The show is going to start!” Then she spins around up there, usually ending with a dramatic dismount off the stage on to toys she stacked into staircase.

And we’ve eaten a lot of little pink cupcakes!
