Blake's first Ballet show (and Brian's)

Tonight we went to see Peter Pan at the Ballet. Good seats, 2nd row, center. Blake was interested in seeing it when we got a postcard in the mail. I had explained to him that there was no talking just dancing. He wanted to see it anyway. I think he really wanted to see Captain Hook and Peter Pan do the sword fight the most. 

It's an hour and a half show and we weren't sure he'd sit through it. He did so good, sat with his hands on his lap like a perfect little boy the whole time, never talking, just watching intently. 

At intermission, we thought he'd say "is it done yet." But instead he couldn't wait for the second half to begin. We had asked him how he liked it so far he said "good." We asked what his favorite part was so far he said "I don't know yet, I have to watch it until the end."

So at the end we asked again about his favorite part and he said "the end." Then later said "all of it."
And before bed, he said "when can we go there again?"
So he got to experience something new.

p.s. Brian enjoyed it too. : )
