Wednesday evening Cirrus and I (Oma) went to Ballet West's performance of Cinderella. This was Cirrus's second time to the ballet. Last year we went to "An evening of Ballets". Cirrus was beautiful in her long red dress, and her hair up in little braids pinned in buns. Only one cushion was allowed per child, so we supplemented with Oma's sweater and Cirrus's coat. Once again Cirrus was spell bound, and thoroughly enjoyed the ballet. Adults found her adorable and talked to her. During intermission she twirled in the aisle, and was asked if she was being Cinderella. She promptly replied, "No". She looked into the orchestra pit and was intrigued by the harpist tuning her harp. She watched for a long time, past Oma's interest level. After the ballet Cirrus was being a typical little girl and an older lady asked her if she was a ballerina. Cirrus's only disappointment was that she didn't get to meet Cinderella in person. The ballet was two and a half hours long. It is still amazing to me that she sat still for so long, and was so interested. Opa was our chauffeur for the evening, and carried one little sleepy Cinderella into her house when we took her home. We had a wonderful time.
