The Nutcracker

Last week Max came home and said “Mom, we saw the coolest thing ever in music class today! It was called The Nutcracker. There were no words – just music and dancing.” And then he starts leaping and twirling through the kitchen. He goes on to tell me about this “really famous Russian guy who could jump like 7 ft. in the air!” Those guys are amazing athletes, I responded. “Yeah, said Max. I think I’d like to do that too... but I’m not sure about the tights.”
