On Sunday afternoon, Maddy and I had a special 'girls date'. We went to see the Nutcracker Ballet in New Westminster. It was Maddy's first time in a theatre of any sort and I found myself having to prepare her for what was to come. It's funny to think that even the lights all going out could be potentially scary for kids. Maddy was very excited because she knew it was going to be a ballet. In the car ride there, I talked about how I was hoping to make this a special girls tradition if she enjoyed it. About 20 minutes into the first half she leans over to me and whispers, "I like it, mama!" Too cute. During the intermission we went to the lobby to get a cookie and drink. Some of the cast members were there with their families and they agreed to take pictures with Maddy. The one with "Clara" is a little out of focus, but Maddy was so smitten with her, that she wanted me to include it in the blog anyway.
Thanks for a great afternoon Maddy! I had just as much fun going as you did. I love 'Mom and Maddy' days.
