I keep forgetting to mention that we took Eloïse during autumn half-term to see the children’s musical, Nijntje Op Vakantie at the Meervaart.
I think I enjoyed it only slightly less than Eloïse, for whom I purchased a copy of the CD containing the songs. Unfortunately, every time I try to break the silence in the home by turning on some music via the Sonos, Eloïse demands that I play Nijntje Op Vakantie instead of whatever I was planning to play. And she’s really quite insistent in that convincing way that only a two-year old can be, sending one running straight down the path of least resistance.
Anyway, if you’re in The Netherlands and Nijntje Op Vakantie is coming to a venue near you in the next six months, you could do worse than to take your toddler along. We all had a very good time and it was fun to expose Eloïse to a live performance.
