"Look at my Frozen underwear!" Rosie exclaims proudly, showing off her new purchase.
"Hmmm, sounds cold," her dad quips.
It's the norm in our house to talk about Frozen for a lot of the day. Whenever I call Rosie by her name, she snaps back, "No! My name is Elsa." Even Simon, our 2 year-old, is starting to call Rosie, Elsa. I don't know if that is healthy.
I wouldn't consider Elsa the best role-model. Ever since Rosie has been studying Frozen, she's been slamming a lot of doors and trying to look moody. She says things like, "I'm going to run away, like Elsa." She also looks very serious and says, "I can never be Elsa. I don't have white hair. I wish I had white hair."
I don't know why a lot of girls gravitate towards Disney characters like Elsa or Cinderella or Belle rather than Mulan or Moana. Perhaps it's the dress! In Frozen, the climax of the film for Rosie is when Elsa sheds her old dress and magically creates a new blue and shimmering dress. It's like Rosie's pupils dilate whenever it comes to that part. So perhaps what Disney needs to do is create strong, mentally-stable heroines that ALSO get a cool dress mid-film.
Anyway, Rosie really wanted me to make a film of her singing "Let It Go," so here it is. Keep in mind, this is a really slap together job, but I love it anyway because it captures her in the height of her obsession. She also yawns and messes up words, which I think is cute because after all her love of the song, she is just a little kid and that's okay.
