One of the privileges of being in 5th grade at CES is getting to go to the Shrine circus. This is the year for Jax. I'm a bit apprehensive about this trip, as we haven't tried the circus with Jackson since I was pregnant with Cal (which would have been January of 2003). That time was heartbreaking. Jackson really wanted to be there and see the show, but it was truly entirely too stimulating for him. We took him out in the corridors and he'd peek through the steps into the lights and sounds. He didn't want to leave, but he didn't want to go back in either. It was heartbreaking; I remember all of us leaving in tears.
That was a long time ago, and Jackson has enjoyed several events at the Coliseum since: Disney on Ice, Playhouse Disney Live, several Komet hockey games, even the loud, "Walking with Dinosaurs". So, we're going to take our chances and let him enjoy this "rite of passage" with his 5th grade friends. Just to be on the safe side, Dan is taking the day off work to be with him. I'm really hoping they both have a good time!
