Girls Night Out -- The Nutcracker Ballet

We went to see the Nutcracker Ballet in Lake Jackson and Kasiana absolutely loved the show. I bought her the Barbie Nutcracker movie and she watched it on the way up there. She decided we should turn it off when the mouse king came on. She thought he was pretty scary. During the ballet the mouse king wasn't scary anymore, but she left saying that the magician was "kinda creepy".

When the mouse king got into a sword fight with the Nutcracker and fell to the stage, she got visibly upset. I whispered to her that he got hurt, but he just needed to rest a little bit and he'd be better. She said, "Mommy, we can take him home and he can rest in the cama (bed). Then he can play with me." We tried to go see him afterwards on the stage. Kasiana was very upset when he didn't come off the stage.

She did however get to take pictures with some of the other dancers from the ballet. She thought the whole evening was pretty cool, and is already talking about going next time. We have to go to Chuck-e-cheese to go find the mouse. She's still talking about him.
