Mommy-Daughter Date

Off to The Nutcracker ballet with Poppy for a little date. On the way she said, "I like to go on dates with Daddy because he is at work a lot, but I don't need to go on a date with you. I'm with you all day." So sweet. I'm not sure if that means that I don't need to worry about planning outings with my children or if that's a sign that I should be doing this a lot more often!

She seemed to be having fun once we got there. It's tough for her to smile nicely at the camera for more than a couple of pictures. 

 By about halfway through, the little one's enthusiasm seemed to be waning. A couple times she looked at me and said, "It's so long!" It was beautiful and really well done (sadly, we weren't allowed to take pictures of the performance), but it was fairly long for a four year old...even one who is crazy about her ballet class and has a passion for fancy costumes.
I loved that it was just the two of us out on the town, enjoying something beautiful together. It made me very excited about a lifelong friendship with my girls.

So cute! What a fun outing for mommy-daughter. Nutcracker is usually a good one for fancy outfits!
