Frozen frenzy!

You must not have elementary school-age children, or your children must not go to an institutional school, if you are not fully familiar with the movie and soundtrack from the recent hit Disney film Frozen.  If 4 and 7 year old boys are into singing songs from it, it has fully pervaded their culture.  I was just remarking to a friend over the weekend that yes, the kids enjoy the movie, but no they are not singing it around the house.  Then I captured Owen tonight with these tidbits...I had no idea he knew that many lyrics!

In the 'do you want to build a snowman' song, keep in mind that he had watched a video of the voice actor, Kristin Bell, singing the song, and had seen how she made her voice sound like a preschooler's in this first verse, so he's trying to sound young and singing really nasally.  But he still has a sweet little voice (I'm his mama, again I offer that disclaimer).  Click on the 2nd black square...bringing 2 videos up for some reason.

Here's his version of Let it Go (started too low, oops).  He didn't mind me taping because we've heard so many people singing it SOOOO badly and he will always say, "I can sing it way better than THAT!"  So I told him to prove it and let me record it :)  Click on the 1st black square:

Memories :)  Technology is good for some things.  Love my little wants-to-be-18 in a 6 year old's body.  And speaking of 6-year-old bodies, today was our routine dentist appt. and as soon as I could catch the dentist outside of earshot I asked him to PULL. THAT. TOOTH!  And give Owen warning of course.  I told Owen that it would get pulled at the dentist, but I didn't want any pushback by giving him time to stew on it.  Oh my.  It was wedged and furthermore, his gum had grown back into the tooth!  They had to give him novocaine to take it out!  That was one expensive stubborn streak, and I had no idea it could get to that, or else this momma would have yanked that sucker long ago whilst pinning child to floor with knees!  He knows we won't be giving his teeth that much time to fall out on their own in future :)  He has a perfectly adorable little toothless smile now (actually the new teeth are already 1/4 down) and whistles when he talks.  I think he was actually proud once it was out, he kept rubbing his tongue over his new choppers.  I have to grab a picture tomorrow whilst Reuel pins him to the floor.  He seems so grown up and then as I'm putting him to bed: "Mom, I'm going to put my tooth near this side of my pillow near the door.  I think the tooth fairy probably slips through the crack in the door.  I was thinking about it and I imagine her looking like Princess Elsa (from Frozen) even though nobody probably knows what she really looks like.  TOTAL BELIEVER!  Very sweet.

Love the recordings! They are great. We have heard a lot of those song at our house. :) They replaced the Annie Songs.

(I had no idea that could happen to a tooth either. At least now you won't get push back on the next one.)

:) I should have warned you about the teeth. My dad sat on me to pull my front teeth, and I was also reluctant to pull them out. Now you know. :)

What gets me is when Zayn gets to the part, "What if I meet someone? What if I meet *the* one?" said in a very breathless voice.
