This used to be a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, but we've been blessed that the wind has died down considerably. Still, it's not a day to be outside. It's poured rain heavily, dumping several inches of rain on us again. But Mommy and Madison still knew how to have fun. Mommy plugged in a video from several years ago: a performance from "The Gift." It's a ballet we plan on seeing as a family this Saturday, and a tradition Zena and I have enjoyed for the past several years. It is the Christmas story set to beautiful music and dance, and I can't recommend it enough.
Last year, Daddy and Mommy took Madison for the first time. She did really well watching it, and was fascinated by the dancers in the beautiful dresses.
As soon as Mommy plugged in the video, Madison put on her favorite pink tutu and ballet shoes (over her tie-dye t-shirt!). Along with the dancers, Madison twirled and did her best to stand on her toes. It was a magnificent performance! We plugged in this video so that Madison would become accustomed to the performance she'll see this Saturday. We're really looking forward to it, as it has become somewhat of a sign that Christmas is really here!
Together, Mommy and Madison watched this video in the playroom, quietly seated and eyes fully focused on the television set. I don't think we'll have a problem keeping her focused on the stage Saturday!
