You could say you were performing, but I would argue that this performance was interacting and not a show, per say, and that is what the question was. What sort of SHOW would one do for newborn to 2 years old? Remember, this show also has to entertain the 3 - 5 year olds and their parents. The idea implied by the original post was for a stage worthy performance for newborn to 5 year olds, a show, not a one on one (or one on a few) roving interactive entertainment.
