Let It Go!

Last night my mom, my sister and I took Charlie to see Frozen for the second time in the movie theater.  The first time we went was during the DFW ice storm in early December with Zaza and Papa and it happened to be her very first movie theater experience.  Since then she has learned the Frozen theme song "Let it Go" and it is her new favorite song.  We play the Youtube video of it for her every now and then and as soon as she hears it she is twirling around and dancing.  She even dances with her Princess Ana doll to the music.  Sometimes we will catch her singing the song when its not even playing.   She screams off the top of her lungs...  "Gooooooooo, Gooooooooo"  even though it sounds more like "Dough"!
I thought that since she really new the song this time, taking her to the movie for a second time would be a whole new experience and it was!  She watched the first part of the movie like it was a whole new movie.  She kept looking at my mom with a huge smile and pointing to the screen. It is so amazing seeing this world through the eyes of a child.  As soon as the "Let it Go" sequence started, she got up out of her seat and was dancing, twirling, and singing in the aisles of the theater!  It was SO worth seeing the movie for a second time in the theater!    I'm sure when it comes out on DVD we will be watching this one over and over again.  At the end of the movie the Demi Lavato version of the song came one and Charlie got up again to dance and twirl around.  It was the cutest thing EVER!
It was nice to see the movie both times with family since the movie is all about family love.  "Everyone's a bit of a fixer upper, we all need each other to round us out!"  This time I got to see it with my mom and my sister which was perfect because the true love that broke Ana's spell is the love for her sister.  The whole time Charlie was in my lap, Chelsie kept kicking her and I couldn't stop thinking of how much fun they are going to have together as sisters.

New Year! New Semester!

Today is the first day back to school in the New Year and the New Semester!  I just felt Chelsie kick while walking the halls.  I just realized that this was the first time I felt her kick at school.  I'm also alot bigger than I was two weeks ago when we left for Winter Break.  Today begins the second half of the school year, but also the second half of my pregnancy!  By the end of this semester my little Chelsie will be here!  I am going to be HUGE at the end of the school year.  I can't believe how fast time flies and how quickly pregnancies go, how quickly babies come, and how rapidly children grow.  My life will fly by ten times faster now that I will have TWO children. Here is to a great second semester of school and to the second half of my second pregnancy!  Its going to be great!
