The Nutcracker


On Sunday afternoon, Nana, and I took Parker to see the Nutcracker. Neither of us had been in years, and thought it would be a fun opportunity to introduce Parker to it. She was very excited, she didn't take a nap, she just lay in bed waiting for me to come and get her to tell her it was time to go. When I got into her bedroom, she was ready to go with shoes on and all..(we had taken the shoes off before naptime) Too funny! Anyway, after arriving, we sat and waited, and then it started...after about 5 minutes in, she asked if we could go home....she sat on my lap the entire time, and by the time the 2nd half started, she said again, much louder, "can we go home"...the second half went by much slower, as she was clearly not very interested, and kept talking, and trying to get into my purse...when it was all over, she said that she enjoyed it, but I honestly think it was about an hour too long for her....and I think I've decided I don't like ballets. Nothing against this performance, I think they did great, I personally didn't care for it..We asked her if she would like to go back, and she shook her head, yes, then no...So I don't really know if she liked it or not. We'll probably wait a few years before thinking about taking Brecken!
