Just gave my best puppet show ever! It was only for a couple minutes, with a couple of store-bought puppets, and this plastic play house for a stage, but my little 11-month old grandson shrieked with joy, bounced on his little seat and came crawling up to get the puppets. Love that kid. Love using puppets to make him happy!  

 

That's what it is all about!

I agree!  Excitement in the audience makes it worth while.  I remember one of our first shows, the audience LOVED it and then later we did part of the same show for a competition, the judges didn't enjoy it as much as the audience -- I can take the critique, but really the audience is what it's all about.  Sounds like you have the perfect audience! 

I almost envy your grandson!

You are obviously a FUN grandpa! That what it is all about! When I have grandchildren I want them to say "May I go see Grandma Puppet!" Seeing the smiles make everything worthwhile!! Good job and thanks for sharing!
