Dear Dot

On our drive back the other day we heard you sing "let it go, let it go" at the top of your lungs in the back seat. Of course our hearts Froze (get it?) imagining the downhill slope you were now on given the first song you sang outside of your usual rhymes and Christmas carols was a song out of a silly animated movie! (We love animated movies, and this one just isn't that nice) 

You will realise our shock to full extent when you grow up and learn of our music tastes.

So we immediately came home and played the song from Frozen to see if you identified it and then we would interrogate you to figure out where you learnt it. But when we played it you said you didn't know the song. 

So we let it slip as you singing some other made up song like you always do. 

But the incident stayed with me and I decided to tech you a non rhyme song last night. So as we lay in bed I sang...

Me: you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are grey. You never know this, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.

Dot: (in tune) and never go back to him!

Me: (gulp?!?! Seriously hoping you aren't Sharukh Khan from Darr)

Dear Dot

Dot: Mummy, you Silly. I Billy.

Dear Dot

Today you held a tub of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream in your tiny palms, your long fingers wrapped around the freezing tub, shaking in excitement, your stare steady. You murmured, "Hello there, nice to see you!"
