She hit all her marks and was responsible for her costume change. The first night I wasn't backstage, but luckily I volunteered the second night and got to see how seriously she took it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993632 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 15:40:47 +0000 Kimberlybee 1993632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Oh wow, she is so adorable! I just signed up my DD for toddler's dance class and she had so much fun. She loved following along with the older girls (the 3 years old). I hope she continues to enjoy the class. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993461 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 11:38:18 +0000 Smurfette 1993461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will take her when she is 3 for the first time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993440 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 11:10:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1993440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a blog post on taking little ones to the Nutcracker. I took my older daughter when she was two and a half and that culminated in her performing in the Nutcracker last night and the night before.</p> <p>Who knew that one cultural outing would lead to my daughter's passion!</p> <p>[attach=104/14/ngxx74.450x600.image.jpg] </p> [attach=104/14/ngxx8k.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993424 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 10:54:13 +0000 MamaBehr 1993424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter went last year (I couldn't go because my DH broke his leg in two places the night before and was in surgery) and did great, according to my friend. I got to go this year and she was awesome. She was just enthralled with the whole thing. She is 4.5 years old, so she went at 3.5 years old.<br /> I spent a lot of time talking to her about how to behave in the theater and she knew the story of the nutcracker and that helped a lot.<br /> I'm looking forward to this being a yearly thing with us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993406 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 10:36:01 +0000 lawbee11 1993406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't wait to do this with my LO! I'm thinking in 2 years (when she's 3) is when we'll start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993402 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 10:28:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1993402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Amazon prime has a version of the nutcracker ballet that she loves watching. </p> <p>@mamimami: soo I think I'm sad to admit I don't know the story either so I can't really explain it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993398 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 10:25:01 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1993398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: no book rec, but the latest Daniel tiger episode was about the nutcracker! Now Chloe wants to know more about it, so I'm on the hunt for a book too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993372 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 09:42:37 +0000 Greentea 1993372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so excited to take DD when she is a little older.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993356 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 09:23:06 +0000 mamimami 1993356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: @Pancakes: haha yes we had a tiny bit of that. When some of the more froufy dancers came on stage for the second time, he was like, "not again!" LOL but in general he was very good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993355 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 09:21:29 +0000 mamimami 1993355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: can't answer that but I just sort of explained each scene on a very basic level. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993311 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 07:42:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1993311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have a good book recommendation for the story? I feel like we would get less "commentary " if I could read the story first. But with so many versions on Amazon I don't know what best for under age 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993306 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 07:32:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1993306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's was an awesome mommy-son date! Glad you both enjoyed it. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993302 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 07:22:24 +0000 Anya 1993302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so sweet! This is somdthing I'm looking forward to because I used to be in a dance company so performing the nutcracker is a special memory for me, but I haven't thought about what age take her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993288 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 06:22:07 +0000 Andrea 1993288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went when DD1 was 3.5 and she loved it! I'm waiting for DD2 to be the same age and then I can take them both. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993277 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 06:02:43 +0000 MrsSCB 1993277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to the Nutcracker every year with my mom from age three to well into my 20s. It's one of my favorite Christmas memories and I can't wait to do it with my kids :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993270 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 05:18:18 +0000 Kimberlybee 1993270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am looking forward to this one day! My DD is 19 months so she's too young right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993262 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 04:42:25 +0000 Pancakes 1993262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my daughter right after Thanksgiving. She's almost 4. We had a good time, although she had a running commentary going the entire time. It might be a fun annual mommy-daughter date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993211 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 00:54:57 +0000 simplyfelicity 1993211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took my niece when she was four and a half and she was awful! She kept saying how boring it was and was literally rolling in her seat. Glad to hear your experience was much more positive. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nutcracker#post-1993202 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 23:52:30 +0000 mamimami 1993202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone taken or taking their LO to see the Nutcracker? We went tonight, on the eve of my son's 4th birthday, and I was in mommy heaven!!! It was a special date, just the two of us. And he was really good and loved the fight between the rats and the toy soldiers! </p>
