AurettaJo and I went to a Ballet last Saturday. We curled our hair, put on princess dresses, I did makeup (miracle!), and painted our nails. Chad was super jealous the date didn't include him. But he enjoyed a boys night almost as much as Patrick did.

Auretta kept asking if it was time to go every 2 minutes. And right before it was time, we heard a knock on the door and it was our friends, Heather and Alice, ready to leave early. The girls were just too excited to wait any more.

An hour before the ballet they had a met and greet with the ballerinas. Auretta was just quiet, taking it all in and then getting shy when one of them would talk to her. After 40 minutes or so she got brave enough to touch the tutu's while they weren't looking. All the beautiful princesses combined with the sucker, and it was wonderful (that is Auretta's new word and it is so dang cute when she says, "That is so wonderful.")

We sat down 20 minutes early and she would not leave her seat in fear that we  would miss something. She sat the whole hour and a half, with a little butting wiggling at the end. She wanted to dance too. There were two intermissions so it worked out perfect. When we got in the car to go home she said, "That was so beautiful!" We had an amazing time. I love my little girl so much; it was great to spend the night with her.
