Charlotte wants to change her name to "Elsa"

Last night, we took Charlotte and her cousins to see Frozen at the theatre (note to self--on New Year's Eve, need to purchase tickets earlier in the day to ensure an early evening performance). We ended up watching it in 3-D. I was a little concerned about coupling 3-D viewing with Charlotte's first movie theatre experience, but she loved it and wasn't afraid of items coming toward her. I hope the 3-D viewing doesn't spoil future regular movies for Charlotte.

Charlotte prefers to be cold to warm, so she connected right away with the main character Elsa who has the ability to freeze things and lived in an ice castle. Outside the theatre, Charlotte declared that she wanted to change her name to Elsa. Yikes! All the time I spent pondering what name to give my little beauty, and just like that, she wants to change it.

Whew! The very next day, she responded to being called Charlotte and didn't correct me to say that she preferred Elsa, so the wish was short-lived...until we purchase the movie and she sees it again.
