The Nutcracker Looms on the Horizon.....
We spent our morning at ballet as usual. Liv loves it so much. She woke with an upset tummy t about 5:30 this morning. When I said it didn't look like she would be able to go to ballet today, she FREAKED OUT!! Needless to say, she pulled it together and we went to ballet. She has rehearsal tomorrow and next Sunday,then dress rehearsal next Thursday and THEN her performances on sat and sun. She is still upset that she can't be in ALL the performances! LOL! She also has aspirations for the part of either Claire or the Sugarplum Fairy next year. I don't quite know how to tell her that she will be much too young for the role of Claire and the role of The Sugarplum Fairy goes to one of the PROFESSIONAL ballerinas!! Hey! Nothing wrong with having goals though!! Go for it baby girl!! I, of course, CAN'T wait to see her on stage!! You know there WILL be pictures posted in the very near future!! LOL! I was pleased to read in the paperwork that we CAN take pictures DURING the dress rehearsal with a non-flash camera. Thank goodness for the Nikon D-50 and my long lens!!

I cannot wait to see your pics! We do local theater too, but quit ballet when the girls were 3 and 4 yrs old. Too consuming!
We did Beauty and the Beast two years ago and The King and I last year. Taking a break this year. Rehearsal seven days a week and a half hour drive each way through blizzards is TOO much. Super fun though, to be in the shows. I was a wife of the king last year in the K and I and I dyed my hair jet black. Its still recovering! LOL.
LOL! That's pretty awesome!! I must say I don't know if I have enough dedication to anything to dye my hair black! Yes ballet is consuming..........there are times when I wish she just went to a bootleg, stripmall ballet school rather than one of the best in the area! There IS something to be said for slacking from time to time! She LOVES it though, lives and breathes is already and she's ONLY six (God help me!) I can't IMAGINE what I hav eto look forward to down the road. At least with ballet it's never 6am on a COLD, RAINEY soccer field! Not that I didn't love those days also!!
