She can start taking ballet classes in the fall, as you have to be 3 to start and we can only register in the fall. I'm so excited for that. Anyway, because of her love for ballet, and I have always loved watching it, I decided to look up tickets and see if they were nearby. Thankfully the Nevada Ballet performed it this year - for the first time - at the Paris. I could hardly wait, myself from October until Dec. 20th, when we finally got to go. And Analise was so excited. She got all dressed up and we headed in, just the two of us. It was our first Mother-Daughter outing together and I loved it!
She did so well watching it. The biggest problem was convincing her that she couldn't go down on the stage and dance with them.
She wanted to so badly. It really was cute. That night, she also learned how to chew gum. I had a piece and she wanted a piece. So I gave her one, she gobbled it up and swallowed. Then she wanted another one. I explained to her that you have to keep chewing, not swallow, and then showed her that I still had my piece. She took my piece from me and started chewing it. She kept chewing until we were at dinner.
After the show, in the car I gave her a present. Her first tutu. It is pink with flowers - perfect for her as her favorite color is pink. :) She was excited about it and wanted to put it on. I told her she had to wait until we got home. From the ballet, we went to Chili's to have dinner and then headed home.
She fell asleep right as we were getting into Pahrump. The next morning, she was so excited to put it on and dance around the house in it for hours. It really was so special. I can't wait to watch her develop even more interests as she grows. And, I hope The Nutcracker is in Vegas again next year. It would be nice to make it a Mommy-Daughter tradition.
