M's first ballet...

On Saturday, G, My sister M and I took M to see her very first ballet. We took her to see The Nutcracker. It was performed by the St. Louis Ballet Company, who my boss's daughter dances with. We went to see the special, shortened, narrated version set up for children.

M was in complete awe of the ballerinas. She was excited and could hardly sit still. She watched carefully and sat on my lap, then her dad's, then her own seat, then mine. She could hardly contain all the excitement. She is still talking about ballerinas days later.

I'm really glad that her first exposure to the theater was a good one!
