Anna watched The Nutcracker for the first time tonight. It was a video of the San Francisco ballet company, and is probably the most extraordinary version I have ever seen. At first she said she didn't want to watch it; she wanted to watch something else. So about one minute into the show I tried to advance it to another scene. Suddenly she complained, "I'm watching that!" That's how quickly she was hooked. After that, she was totally enrapt. She watched the entire thing, with only a brief break to put on her princess dress. She practiced her own technique while watching the television. I can't wait to see her when she starts ballet in the spring.
