Nutcracker

I took A to see The Nutcracker last week, and since then, we've had a full steam ballerina obsession on our hands. In fact, Adelaide wants to see the Sugar Plum Fairy rather than Santa. After dinner or while we wait on Ben to get home, this is what we've been up to- taking turns between Adelaide performing in either the Chinese Tea Dance (does that need to be in caps?) or as the SPF. My Clara is not understudying for Clara from the ballet, but for a much more fitting character. Make sure you can hear the music in the background.

I loved the dance performances by both of the girls. Adelaide will be leaping in the air soon and my guess is that her daddy will need to be doing some lifts with her. it reminds me of the pictures of the two of them when she was a baby. She was already practicing her lifts. Clara is her perfect russian dancer and it looked like she was bouncing in time with the music. With all of her vocals, I think she could be one of the dancers in Fiddler on the Roof. Adelaide's leap at the end of the Clara video was the perfect finale.
