The above picture is of my daughter, in her Dorothy costume and "ruby" (a.k.a. red sequins) slippers, GLUED to the TV screen during breakfast this morning. The reason she is GLUED and TRANSFIXED and COMPLETELY UNAWARE of her surroundings is because The Wizard of Oz is playing on the screen. Now, the reason I agreed to let her watch The Wizard of Oz this morning during breakfast was in hopes that it would a) distract her from reading The Wizard of Oz book, which we read together no less than seven times today, and b) I thought that at least we could shovel some food in her while she was watching the movie, which doesn't work well with the book thing.
Well, she didn't eat much. She didn't even respond to anything. It was like aliens (Ozians?)had taken over her body. We had to stop the movie several times ("Eat three bites, please!") so she could at least get some sustinence. Then she proceeded all day to talk about Dorothy, the tin man, the scarecrow, the witch . . .in all times and in all things and in all places. (Example: during a diaper change she said, "The lion has a bum! The tin man has a bum!") Right at this moment, even as I type, she's making up a song involving all of the characters. "Oh the lion, dum dee da, the scarecrow, doo doo doo!"
I've created a monster! A cute little monster in blue gingham, but a monster none the less! At least it's a classic, huh?

She is priceless! And she has fabulous taste in classic literature/movies! Love her darling Dorothy outfit... :)
Well, this is perfect considering your role in the play and how much you loved/love Wicked. It's so completely fitting. She was destined to be your daughter.
That is such a cute Dorothy outfit. I love it.
