So my six year old daughter has a slight obsession with the movie Annie. Now I know these types of things are normal around this age but it has been going on at least a year and a half. Annie songs are the only songs she wants to sing and we hear the CD over and over and over again. She will sing "Tomorrow" for anyone that is willing to listen often accompanied by a ballet like twirling and leaping dance and act out her favourite scenes. This started when I bought the 80's version of the Annie movie remembering how much I liked it as a kid and since then we have bought the 90's version of the movie, seen the play twice and she is ecstatic for the new version coming out next Christmas.

Now as the daughter of a woman constantly pointing a camera at her since the day she was born she is not always open to me photographing these moments. But this particular day I lucked out as she had a friend over and I was formally invited to watch the production as a photographer :) I need to use that one more often.

If any other parents of 5-7 year old girls are reading this I am sure you have no sympathy as your kids are probably pretending to be Elsa right at this very moment and belting out the lyrics to "Let It Go".

 Although sometimes I think I can not possibly hear that soundtrack one more time I still peek my head silently around the corner whenever the music starts.
