The Wizard of Oz

During my senior year of high school I was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz musical. I have very fond memories of the show and was lucky enough to receive all of the characters as Christmas ornaments. I have a tiny little tree that I put them on every year. Sophia was intrigued by them this year, but didn't know the story.

At dance class yesterday afternoon Sophia decided she wasn't going into class again, but while we were waiting around watching the class she noticed a Wizard of Oz poster on the wall. (Side note: even though we are paid through the end of January, I am not taking her back to class. It's a waste of our time and I literally have to drag her out of the car. I don't want to be "that" mom.) When we got home she asked me to get out the ornaments for her to play with because she lost her TV privileges. Luckily they were in the one bin that I hadn't had a chance to put away yet.

She's been asking questions about the story for about 12 hours now. She claims she never wants a TV in her room because she doesn't want to watch the Wicked Queen part. Will and I have been singing the songs. She wants to watch the movie....Mom, can you please mail me the VHS tape of the musical? (Another side note: Our neighbors have a converter that will take VHS tapes and make them digital files. So we can preserve it forever.)
