Emma and I went to the Nutcracker today with Susan, Mariela, and Alyssa. She LOVED it! She has been in love with ballet for a while now, thanks to Aunt Abby! It was so fun to give her an opportunity to see what ballet really is. We were in the fifth row and Emma just sat wide-eyed for the whole performance. The two seats in front of us were open so she could sit on my lap and lean forward on the seat and suck her thumb. At times she would get down and twirl and try to imitate the dancers. On the way home she told me she would be a real ballerina one day and she would get up on stage and dance and I would watch her and clap and say 'Yay, Emma'. Love it! It was a precious time with my little girl and I am so thankful for the time alone with her and good friends today!
Before the ballet we went to Ms. Miller and Mariela's for lunch.
Emma was so excited that I could not get her to stand still. She loved her ballet dress and new sparkle shoes. She wore her ballet slippers when we got to the theater.
Waiting with Ms. Miller for the performance to begin.
She was so distracted that she wouldn't stay focused for any good pictures.
Still excited at intermission!
