While we were downtown on Wednesday we decided to take the girls to hear the Grant Park Orchestra (OK, Chris and I wanted to do an adult activity so the girls were forced to come along). It was really nice and the energy was just what I was craving. The orchestra played some Italian variations--Britten: Matinées musicales, Opus 24 (after Rossini); Berio: Ritirata notturna di Madrid (after Boccherini); Strauss: Aus Italien, Opus 16. M was exhausted from her busy day so needless to say she was a bit uncontrollable at this point. However, A seemed to really enjoy it (meaning, she didn't cry!).
