It was the first full length ballet I've been to and I was SO EXCITED. We went to see Sleeping Beauty at the NYC Ballet and it did not disappoint. The lead ballerina, princess Aurora was ridiculous. She made everything look so freaking easy. There was a part where she was standing on pointe on one leg and some suitors were coming to greet her. She stood on pointe without a wobble for a very very very long time. She also wore lots of super pretty tutus. This is her wedding tutu.
There were also somechildren in the show that incited AWWWWWWWs every time they got on the stage. The other highlights were the Puss n Boots dance, Little Red Riding Hood, and I really liked the court jesters dance too. I can't wait to go back again. And Josh didn't even fall asleep!
On the toe front, it's been 3 weeks. Unfortunately, it's still a little swollen, which I don't think is very good. But it's feeling a little better and it's not bruised any more. I'm going to take that as a good sign. It will probably be a few more weeks before I can do anything again.
In other news, we might be getting Oliver a little kitty friend. Let me just say that Josh is super awesome. He thinks I'm a crazy cat lady (which I almost am) but he's willing to at least try fostering a kitty friend. I think Oliver will really like having a buddy.
