I recently took Milo to his first ballet performance. The Columbia City Ballet staged choreographer Septime Webre's (from the Washington, DC Ballet) adaptation of Maurice Sendak's book "Where the Wild Things Are." It was an absolutely enchanting ballet. Between that and the other ballet pieces being performed, Milo sat still for two whole hours, including intermission. Afterwards we toured the backstage and met the dancers, including one of the "Wild Things." Milo seemed particularly enamored with the dancer who played "Max," but when I asked him which dancer or part of the ballet he liked best he replied, "All of them!"
