Flash forward a year and a half and she is still singing the songs and regularly wants us to act out the whole saga of Frodo's journey. She has been begging for a Frodo costume and here is what we have put together so far.
She still insists that she needs a wig and a cape with a hood. So, if any of you see one or know how to make a cape, let me know!! She is introducing herself to people these days as Frodo Baggins-Nora Lee. When she did that to an older gentleman at the park while with grandma he said, "Grandparents these days just dont get a say in what our grandkids are called!" To which my mom replied, "Oh, thats just her name this week." He shyly understood.
Her other love is the musical Into the Woods. For those of you not familiar with it, its an incredible show and one of my favorites. It focuses on a bunch of fairy tale characters who travel into the woods to find something that will make their lives better and then, the actual outcome. Nora Lee has seen the Broadway version on DVD and we listen to the soundtrack daily. She is getting quite good at the songs, which is no small feat I may add! We're trying to get video of her doing it.
She is having trouble finding other 3 years old who share her passions, but we are working on it. I also want to give her opportunities to perform, but those too are for older kids. She and Matt are going to a children's theater performance of Beauty and the Beast today and she is thrilled.
One day she asked me if she could have a popsicle and soak her feet - hilarious!
This image made me laugh so hard. Just a regular day watching a movie, wearing a gown...and a bicycle helmet.
