Going to see the Nutcracker truly makes it Christmastime!!! My mom's mom started taking me to the Nutcracker when I was really little, and I have only gone one or two years since then without going. We decided to take Caroline this year, and she did pretty good. Before it began, my mom decided to tell her the story of the Nutcracker, which included the part where Clara gets scared by the Rat King...so Caroline was really scared when it first started because she thought the whole thing was going to be a "scary show". Then, the part where the Rat King and Nutcracker fight ended up being her favorite part! We had a minor meltdown right after the second act started, because Caroline decided that she wanted to go dance on stage too and I had to hold her from running down the aisle! Once I got her settled down, she sat through the rest of it pretty quiet! She got to see Clara afterwards, and has talked about the Nutcracker every day since!!
