Nana and Papa took Sparkle and I to see the Nutcracker at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in downtown Denver. (Thanks, Nana & Papa) I have been looking forward to taking Sparkle since I first bought her a pink sparkly book with a picture of the Sugar Plum Fairy on the front when she was three. She has been utterly fascinated by the book ever since and it was so fun to finally be able to take her. We went to the matinee with lots of other little ones attending...which is good because Sparkle is one of those kids who comments and asks questions about EVERYTHING. "Why are the mice dancing around Clara?"...."Where is Clara?" (every time she exits the stage)..."Can I be Clara?". Her new life goal is to take dance so she can be Clara. It has been hard to explain to her that such things don't happen immediately. I love the dreams of a five-year-old.
