Nutcracker

Katie and I have made going to the Nutcracker an annual tradition

 and this year Sophie got to join us.

We got all dressed up and took pictures.

I had read the story to them again just last night, and explained to Sophie about how the ballet tells the story without words. They just dance. I thought I had done such a good job preparing her!

When we arrived quite early (can you believe it!) we got to our seats, 

which were in row 2, Sophie asked me,
"Where do we dance?" 

She thought SHE was going to dance in the Nutcracker!

When I told her that THEY were going to dance on the stage right there,

and WE were going to sit and WATCH in these seats,  

she said, "Then why am I wearing this dress?"
