How to see Nutcracker with the kids by Shevonne Polastre

"breathtaking "

How I did it: My daughter's girl scout troop decided to go to the Girl Scout Night at the Washington Ballet. When I was a little girl, my mother took my sisters and I to "The Nutcracker."  I really loved it, and I knew that I would one day take my own children.  I've been wanting to for awhile, but things never fell into place until now. 

The kids and I headed to the Warner Theater and waited for the performance to begin.  The kids were tired, so they were irritable while waiting.  I was ready to tear my hair out.  My daughter was whining, and my son was complaining, but I knew they would come around when the dancers started dancing.  They did!

They were captivated by the entire performance.  I saw my son sitting on the edge of his seat, and Isabelle smile whenever there was a new dance. I was also feeling the same way.  The dancers did an amazing job, and I was glad that the kids enjoyed it. 

Lessons & tips: Kids might be impatient while waiting. Just relax
