Yesterday we went to Sprout Studio to "meet Blue." We arrived 30 minutes early since I had no idea what to expect. The kids played happily while asking every few minutes, "Is Blue here yet?" Only to hear my reply of, "Not yet." Then it happened. Blue entered the room! 
...And the children gathered around...at least most of them...Mackenzie stayed right by my side while Josiah is the one in the navy blue shirt and blue jeans running toward Blue!
Then we waited in line to have a brief one-on-one time with Blue. Perfect for pictures! Mackenzie watched all the other kids go up to Blue and smile for the camera. Let me tell you she was one determined little girl. Her hands were visibly trembling, but she gave no other outward signs of just how nervous she really was about this. She never admitted to any of it! She walked up toward the yellow dot on the floor, just as she was asked to do, and turned to smile for the picture. She made sure she was close enough for the picture, but not too close to Blue! Too funny. She has come along ways as she used to be terrified of people like this and Chuck E. Cheese. :)
Josiah, on the other hand, was thrilled! He would not stop looking at Blue long enough to look at the camera. His facial expression while looking up at Blue says it all--delight and wonder! :)
Here we are giving Blue on last farewell as she is leaving Sprout. Josiah liked the pat on the head that he received; Mackenzie even decided to give Blue a five, but Blue did not actually see her. That's okay. It was a fun day.

Sprout is one thing about Knoxville that I really miss. We loved that place. There is a similar place here called the Monkeys Treehouse, but I have not taken the boys yet b/c it is not close to where we live. How fun that Blue was there. Cute!
Just so you know, we eventually had to quit going to Chuck E Cheese b/c Will was so terrified of the "characters." He is just know getting over that at age 5!
How fun! Love the picture of Josiah kissing Mackenzie's hand! What sweethearts!
How cute! What an experience meeting Blue! Jackson and Chandler Grace would have spazzed out! She's their favorite!
Josiah was certainly taken with her! Way to be brave Mackenzie!
Oh! April, I "tagged" you on my blog-check it out!
Your little ones are so sweet! I too loved the post where Josiah was kissing Mackenzie's hand
April,
About your question, the photo on the left is actually me. The photo on the right was originally in color and it faded a bit
