You went to Disney World!


Well, we weren't sure what to expect, going on such a long trip. in the past, you haven't been the greatest traveler, but this time, you really did pretty well. you've now been to arkansas, oklahoma, missouri, illinois, indiana, tennessee, mississippi, alabama, georgia, and florida. that's 10 states, and you're only two. that's pretty good, i think!
we spent 7 days at disney world, and every day, you loved seeing all the new things you could see. it was fun to watch your face light up while you rode the rides, and to watch you take in all the scenery as we strolled past it.
you rode your first roller coaster, Goofy's Barnstormer, and the lady who seated us gave you a little card/certificate, to show you'd ridden your first coaster. you were just barely tall enough to ride it, but the nice man at the beginning of the ride let us in. you smiled and giggled through the whole thing, while other kids screamed and yelled. it was pretty cute.
the only thing you really seem to be scared of is heights. you whimper every time i put you up on a changing table, and you tried to claw my face off when i sat you on my shoulders. but on a ride, you're just fine. that's a lot like your mommy.
you got increasingly worn out as the week went on (we all did), and you threw some pretty good fits. but really, you did a lot better both in the parks and in the car than we expected. maybe we should give you more credit!
on the way home, you kept asking if we were going back to "Matchee Keenom" (Magic Kingdom). i bet we'll be back someday, and you'll be tall enough to ride everything, like we know you want to!
love, mom
