And you have pretty much every song, including all the dialog over the underscoring, and most of the scenes memorized.  I just have to play the opening bars of any song and you&#8217;ll immediately start singing along.  Your favorite line, though, is when Chip says &#8220;See?  I told ya&#8217;!&#8221; to Mrs. Potts.  So now whenever you tell me something it&#8217;s usually followed with &#8220;I told ya&#8217;, Mommy!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And I have to admit, aside from rehearsals, we haven&#8217;t done much else besides your daily activities (school, playgroup or dance class) and watch TV.  I have been so incredibly tired lately that I have to just close my eyes for a few minutes after lunch every day, and that translates into you getting to watch however much JoJo&#8217;s Circus, Word World and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse you want.  I feel like a horribly mommy, but you&#8217;re just plain thrilled.  I&#8217;m just glad we have a Tivo!<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/images\/34_years_old\/20080222_snow_angel.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"277\" alt=\"20080222_snow_angel.jpg\"\/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>\nThis month has been a bit&#8230;dramatic.  Everything is meltdown worthy, even though you&#8217;re generally an easy going kind of kid.  I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s the extra on-the-go time we spend at rehearsals, or if it&#8217;s just that the idea of a new sibling is finally catching up to you?  If it&#8217;s that, I know we&#8217;ll have to show you and not just tell you, but we&#8217;ll never run out of love for you just because we&#8217;ll have another baby in the house to love, and you&#8217;ll always be my baby.  <\/p>\n<p>Love, Mommy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Carolyn, Some of my very earliest memories of childhood are from when I was exactly the age you are now.
