Carr-Chellman, department head and
professor of education, said she took her
daughter to the performance when the 3-
year-old showed an interest in ballet.
"I didn’t think she would make it
through the whole thing. I told my hus
band we would be back by intermission,"
she said.
Carr-Chellman said she and Aila sat in
the balcony and throughout the whole
performance. Aila danced and sang along
to the music.
"I was wrong. Aila made it through the
whole thing," Carr-Chellman said. "She
loved it."
