Happy Birthday Cailee! Today was the big day. Disney had given Cailee a “birthday” pin that she had worn all week. I have to say, even though celebrating birthdays at Disney appears to be a very common thing, EVERYONE makes a very big deal about birthdays and Cailee milked it all week long. At most…
Wednesday was supposed to our our “off day”. Even though we had *some* plans made for the day, we had purposely not bought theme park tickets with the intentions of laying low and recovering a bit mid week. However, I guess my “always on the go” mentality has been bred into my kiddos because Cailee…
On Day three we went to Animal Kingdom. We anticipated that this, being a smaller park, would be a shorter day for us and it was but we were still there longer than I had guessed. The kids enjoyed the 3d It’s fun to be a bug show, Cailee loved the Dinosaur ride (JJ and…

We had been told/read that this was the other (of the four parks) park that would have things kids our age would appreciate.

Connor is slowly but surely expanding his vocabulary and today, the new phrase we can add to the list is “ready. set. go.” Yes, no one but Connor, who still can’t verbalize Cailee’s name, would be able to use racing terminology. Here’s my little camo dude just laying around. Notice the plane, even though the…
It’s normal routine, I’m sure I’ve said, that we play outside after I get done working. Usually, we take a walk. But yesterday, it was especially cute because Connor asked for it by name. He’s a man of few words so I was thrilled to see him go to his push car and say “Wok”….
Today, I convinced JJ that it was a good idea to take the entire family to the movies. He didn’t think it would work out – and well, he was right. Ok, there, I said it. It would be a first for Connor – but it was the new movie “Planes” and Connor is all…
