Day 4

We spent the first half of the day at Disneyland (mostly Toon Town) and the second half at California Adventure (mostly at Bug's Life) but my iPhone died so no pics from the afternoon. The highlights were meeting Mickey Mouse and Andy taking Nonna on the river rafting ride (his fourth time down!).

The Sweetest Thing

This morning I told the kids that we're going to Disneyland on Monday for 5 days. After watching videos of some of the rides on line, the kids went to play in their rooms. A little while later I heard Andy asking if Sylvia had a swimsuit, and I realized my sweet little angels were busy packing their belongings to hit the road! I heard Andy excitedly counting out 5 pull-ups, and watched him searching Sylvia's drawers for matching pajama bottoms. They proudly brought their backpacks out, ready to go.




After they were asleep, I opened their packs to see just what's critical to a 5 and 2 year old, respectively. Here's what I found:

Andy's backpack


Tigmie (his primary lovey)
Heart and bear (secondary)
Chapter book
Disney luggage tag
Calculator
Tinker toy arrow
Five pull ups
Bathing suit
Pajamas

Sylvia's backpack




Baby doll
Quiet baby
Rabbit lovey
Two coin purses (one with clip-on earings inside)
Three books
Doll comb and brush
Mini etch-a-sketch
Disney luggage tag
5 pull ups
Mismatched pajamas

I'm so moved by their little bitty packing effort that my heart feels like it's being squeezed.

iPhone

I have a new iPhone app that -- I think -- allows me to post to this blog, which if it works will let me post photos much more frequently. Crossing fingers...

Andy at the nursery, checking out the garden furniture, and looking much older than his "plain 5"!
