Girls Night

I wanted Syd to see the Nutcracker Ballet that Studio K puts on here in Boone.  I knew that last year she might be a little too young but thought she'd be up for it this year.  We had two things going against us: weather and time.   Weather was moving in and I knew we'd have to see an earlier weekend show that didn't start until 8:00 pm.  That's just past her normal bedtime so I wasn't sure how it would go but we planned it anyway.  Daddy stayed home with Cal so she and I could go.  She had an incredible time.  She loved every minute.  At the intermission, one of the older girls named Victoria came and talked to her and showed her how to stand on her toes.  She also got to see her friend Kennedy in the show.  They made it snow inside the auditorium which she found fascinating.  We had to leave a little before it was over just because it's 2 hours long and she was exhausted.  On the way out, I asked her how she liked it and she says I want to do that again mommy.  I say maybe you can be in it next year.  To which she replied, but mommy, I don't have a tutu!  Too funny!
