The Nutcracker

 After much debate about if she was too young, we decided to take Callie to The Nutcracker this year.  She LOVED it.  She didn't move for about the first 20 minutes.  When the mouse came out, she yelled "Monster ROAR!"  This was our first clue that she was reaching the end of her time to sit there.  A few minutes later, she looks me in the eye, says "Mama I love you," looks at Mike and says "Daddy, I love you," then looks around at all the people and yells "People, I love you!"  That was when we decided to take her out into the lobby for a walk.  And that is when we found out they have a "quiet" room where Callie could be loud, and no one could hear us.  We watched most of the show from there.  During intermission, Callie was spinning and dancing.  We had to leave during the last act, but it was well worth it.  I think this may become a tradition for us. 

 

This was as we were leaving.  Can you tell you she is a little squirmy!
