The Ballet
By Moriah on April 24th, 2009
My sisters had their birthday over a month ago but they were home on spring break and I never did anything for them. But then a few weeks ago I saw an ad for our local ballet company’s spring production, and asked if they wanted to go with me to that. (And Madeline, too, of course.)
So last night we went to the Ballet.
Madeline was HILARIOUS. She’s already asked me at least thirty times if she can be a ballerina when she “gets bigger.” She also put her hands above her head and twirled in the aisle the whole intermission, bumping into chairs and even a few innocent passersby.
And when I took her to the bathroom immediately before intermission (she absolutely could not wait), the first thing out of her mouth was, “IS THIS SO FUN AT THE BALLET?!!!”
Really, it exceeded my expectations. It was stunning. And the perfect length for a little girl to sit through, (which is helpful).
And yeah, I wasn’t kidding about the week-long birthday thing!

Mollee (age 8 ) is still hoping to be a ballerina when she grows up – unfortunately, we’ve never had the money or extra time for lessons. Her Aunt Heather Brown (not Harris) was a professional ballerina until she had knee trouble a year ago. I keep thinking maybe someday……
Glad you had fun, I need to take Mollee to something like that – Girls night out!
She is so cute. That sounds like a blast!
She’s precious…she’ll remember this night for the rest of her life!
That sounds like SO much girly fun! I know she’ll remember that for a long time.
Lovely! She’s just sparkling in those pictures! (My parents took me to a ballet when I was little, and I was so hooked that, apparently, I forgot to tell my mom I needed to go to the bathroom… and the rest of the story is one of their favorites to tell about me….)
