Walt Disney World on your 2nd Birthday!!!

We got up early and we were all so excited to leave that you didn't even want to eat breakfast. You woke up around 5am and we all got dressed and left. You wore a special Mini Mouse pink dress with leggings. It was about 75 degrees but once the sun went down it was about 60 degrees.

 

We made this funny video of you running out of the House to the car. We drove to Orlando around 8:30AM and you fell asleep from all the excitement! We took a ferry to Magic Kingdom and visited Its a Small World, The Little Mermaid, Dumbo, The Train, The Ferry Boat again, The Dancing Bear Show and The Merry Go Round.

We had lunch at The Pinocchio Cafe and ate Pizza and Salad. Daddy carried you the whole day because you did not want to sit in the stroller.

 

 

 

 

You were so excited that you never napped. We had so much fun together.

What a Blast!

 You loved watching the show in front of the castle. Later that day there was a fun musical parade that we watched too.

 We got this close to getting on this ride and you did a poopy in line and wanted to change your diaper AFTER waiting 45 minutes...

 Your Prince...

 You were so excited on the Its a Small World Ride that you were hugging the both us like crazy. We cried for sure.

 We sat on this train but never moved...it broke down and I almost did too because I wanted you to enjoy it.

 You loved riding in Arielle's Clam Shell ride...

 Enjoyed all the clown shows around the park too...

 We danced the Hokey Poky...and called it a day.

Thanksgiving

It was 38 degrees on Thanksgiving at the beach and we were freezing! We took a long walk on the beach and you hated the wind. Sand was blowing down the beach like a snow storm in the plains. You held onto daddy because you were a little nervous because you never experienced wind like that. We love to wake up early and walk down to Indian Shores Coffee House together. We order a couple of their muffins and eat them right up. You love the beach and for the first time you built several sand castles and did not destroy them. Daddy has built you millions of castles in the past 2 years and you love to stomp on them. For the first time you collected shells for the windows, steeples and trees.

New Gallery

We have been spending some time in Safety Harbor because two of my friends are opening galleries and they want to showcase my work. I am so excited! Melissa wants my Orange roosters...they have been a hit so far.

Christmas coming soon...

You loved helping me decorate for the holidays. You were so excited to open the new Santa for our den. You decorated all the trees including your pink tree for your room.

2! Party at GG's

We had a small little party at GG'S house and you loved being sung to. We opened presents and played with your new dolly bed. You and I painted it pink and will add some flowers to it to match you tea table. You have such a great relationship with GG and POP POP. We had so much fun! We are taking you to Disney World for your Birthday because your birthday was over Thanksgiving and with Lana having a baby any minute and everyone out of town we decided we would just celebrate between us 3 at Disney!

Seal Swim School

You are now swimming without me and it was very bitter sweet. I cried when they graduated you. I loved going in the pool with you and teaching you to swim. You are now at level 3 at 24 months and can float on your back for a few seconds. You can monkey climb the length of the pool, jump in and swim a few lengths and hold your breath for several seconds.

Wizard Of Oz

You are in love with OZ and Dorothy's Red Shoes. You love to watch when she arrives in Munchkin land and the meeting of the scarecrow and the Tin man. You love her doggy Toto and named you new fish after him. You sit through the clips almost every night. It is your first movie you wanted to watch. Daddy introduced you to it and you love it. You two sit together and watch it nightly as

I prepare dinner.
