Going to the Nutcracker Ballet with Toddlers

When the traditional Nutcracker Ballet began advertising in November, I thought about perhaps taking just Poppy. The two of us could have a special date night, and I figured she could probably handle sitting through the performance as she loves ballet, and anything ‘adult’ really. She would be pleased as punch to dress up and go out with ‘just Mommy’, at night! Then, as we talked about it Soren overheard us, and enthusiastically claimed he would like to go as well.
