The Chebs went with Daddy to see the Sleeping Beauty ballet performed last night. Hub-D reports that there were many worried grown-up faces as Chebbles entered the auditorium, at just 2 1/2 years of age and in the front row. But she was quiet and observant the whole time, eating up the performance on Daddy's lap. She also acquiesced to leaving the doll, whom she calls "White Baby" in the car.
When they pulled into the driveway at the ungodly hour of 9:50pm, I stood in the chilly air outside to heave my eldest into bed. And as she stepped out of the car, I swear she looked a year older. Suddenly, because or in spite of the pink princess ballet-watching getup, my baby grew up.

SO cute, did she really sit through an adult ballet production??? Wow!
Your HUSBAND took your daughter to the ballet? Wow. He's brave. I don't think my hubby would do that unless he was coerced.
Chebbles is adorable. I love the headband thingy...
Soooo cute! Are any of her other dolls similarly and/or ethnically named?
Here's the deal. I didn't know it was an adult ballet production!! I had heard it was an hour-long ballet of Sleeping Beauty, that's it. But it turns out she was the only little kid there and it was more than two hours of ballet.
As for White Baby, I think she's referring to the doll's PJ's. But it's still a little odd to hear her call it that.
Oh, geez, this was so sweet I just got tears all over my keyboard. No joke.
