:LIFE: Obsessed with Alice...

Our life has been a bit saturated by Alice in Wonderland lately...

Kaitlin was cast as a Dixie Chicken in the Yankton Children's Theatre Company production of Wonderland: The Musical Misadventures of a Girl Named Alice back in January and there have been many, many hours of practice, preparation and productions ever since.

They just finished their seventh and final show on Sunday and it was a great experience as always. However, when it was all over, I think both Kaitlin and I were feeling a little exhausted!

For a little treat during the first weekend of the show, I took Kaitlin to Alice (the movie with Johnny Depp). It was a great! We both LOVED it!

We've also recently been quite in love with the song Alice by Avril Lavigne...we got the movie soundtrack from Kaitlin's director (thanks, Allison) and we listen to it on the way to school, on the way home from school and any other time we're in the car together!! We both have it memorized.



Kaitlin is only seven and yet we often like the same songs...a lot. Is she following my musical taste...or am I following hers? Who knows!

So, this makes me wonder...for those of you that have children...

READER RESPONSE:
How do your musical tastes compare with those of your kids? What do you make of this?

I think it goes both way, they often like things I play and I like things that they discover first...
I'm seriously obsessed with all the Alice imagery! I can't get enough of it!!!

I have to agree...I'm not typically a Tim Burton fan, but there is certainly something about imagery that really that really 'clicks' with the themes of this classic story.

My kids are still pretty young, but we do like the same music. My favorite song right now is Hey Soul Sister by Train. My son (4) knows the words and sings along with me, one of my girls (2.5) dances like crazy to it, and my other daughter (2.5) hums and dances to it. They will often bust out into song or dance to songs that I love or even ask me to turn it up.

I think that they like the same songs I do because I really encourage it. It's also what is on the radio when we're in the car. I'm curious to see how things will change in 10 years. :)

I wonder the same thing, Melissa! I wonder if we'll be quite so 'in sync' when she's 17 and I'm...well...we don't have to go there! :-) I do hope so, though...
