We have started a new tradition! Last year we took Lorelei to the Nutcracker for the first time, and to our surprise she sat still the whole time. We now have made this a Christmas activity to do with her Nana. We had a great time watching all the beautiful ballerinas as well as the dainty men dancing around. We bought her the book "The Nutcracker" and during intermission we read it to her. It helped her understand what was going on. When we asked Lorelei how she liked it, she exclaimed at the end of the show, "It was TOO long." However, We TRULY did enjoy it. Lorelei has now been dancing around with our Nutcrackers at home!
