David and the Nutcracker :-)

The kids and I attended the Nutcracker performance at the University today along with countless other schoolchildren. Apparently, the music was a wee bit too loud for David, who squirmed and did lots of backflips of his own during the two-hour performance.

(Jonathan thought the whole idea of men in tights was absurd and says once in a lifetime was enough. However, he did enjoy the scene when the "Russians" did acrobatics and back-flipped across stage several times--no girly tights there. They wore outfits that resembled black martial arts uniforms, passing muster with Jonathan.)

Anyway, the music must have been a little overstimulating for little David, for he stayed active the entire time. As soon as the ballet was over, we headed to lunch at Subway, followed by an afternoon of Christmas shopping. It felt like David slept the rest of the afternoon. :-) Poor baby, it was kind of loud. But in the process, we added another memory into our treasury of life with David.
