Walt Disney World Trip Report






Well, we have been back for a couple days now and I think we all really miss it :( The girls were amazing and we had no real major issues while there. Emma loved meeting the characters and riding the rides. Her favorite character I think was Mary Poppins, which is one of Emma's favorite movies. When Emma saw her she was in awe and afterwards said "mommy, I saw Mary Poppins" she was all excited! She loved getting her face painted and was a tiger one day and tinkerbell the next!

Madison also loved the characters and had a blast on the buzz lightyear ride! Madison loved Goofy and Pluto, she would pull their wiskers and talk to them non stop. She also loved to poke Chip and Dale in the eye everytime we saw them! She learned to use a fork while we were there and also sat all by herself on the monorail and bus! She looked like such a big girl.

It really was a good trip and I can't wait to go back. Next time we will get to take Kaetlyn and I won't be pregnant! I haven't gone on Space Mountain in years because I was pregnant with Madison last time we went!

Here are a few pictures of our trip and all that I took have been up on my smugmug site

Sad News

It has been reported that Greg Wiggle will be announcing that he will be leaving the Wiggles tomorrow. He has been sick for awhile and not on tour, his understudy has taken his place. This is just so sad, I wonder if Emma will notice, she loves the Wiggles.

Countdown to Disney!

So we are on the homestretch for Disney World!!! I am so excited but at the same time nervous. Madison has sensory integration dysfunction, www.sinetwork.org, and of course her albinism so I am really nervous on how she will do. I just hope she is able to enjoy some of the trip! Luckily we are staying on the monorail so I will be able to take her back to the room whenever she needs to go back in a flash.

I feel so awful because this sensory thing is such a hard thing to deal with, at least right now since we are still learning. She hates the sound of the toilet flushing. She will be all happy but once it flushes she falls to the ground, kicks, screams, and literally looks like she is having a seizsure, it is so sad. I just wish I could take all of her challenges away from her but I know that God gave them to her for a reason.

Prayer Request

For some reason the past few days I have been really drowsy. It can sometimes get to the point where I just fall asleep with in seconds, this is obviously not good when you have two little girls to take care of. I am not sure what is going on and am guessing that it is just part of the pregnancy. Anyways, I would just like some prayers that this passes and everything works out.

I went to bed before 9 the other night, how scary is that?

Well, I am officially "old." While "before 9:00 p.m." isn't usually the bedtime, I really would love it most days!

A Step Forward!

Madison took 3 steps in therapy today!!!! They weren't right in row but she took 3 steps. I would stand her up and then let go and she would stand on her own, then she would take a step towards Emma and her therapist Lisa! We were so excited, she did such a great job! Also, today was the first day she didn't cry at all for Lisa. She let Lisa touch her, pick her up, and play with her, usually Madison doesn't let her do any of this! I am so excited and can't wait to see what other things she will start to do!

Also, yesterday she said hi to the waiter at dinner, I know that seems like no big deal but it is. Madison usually cries when they come to the table but she said hi. I am so excited and proud of her!

Hooray Madison!
 
Hooray Madison!
 
That was weird... I tried to delete my double-post and it managed to just put up an extra one.
 
That's wonderful news, Casey!

Only 15 days until Walt Disney World

Holy moly there are only 15 days until we leave for Walt Disney World. We are more than likely leaving the evening of the 16th. I am not prepared at all yet. If you don't know I am extremely anal when it comes to going on vacation. I have lists that need to be checked off and I have to pack in advance. I am a lot like Monica on Friends(the episode where they are going to London for Ross's Wedding).

Anyways, I am starting to freak out because I am feeling unprepared already. I did buy a pack of diapers to take for Madison yesterday but I think we may need another pack and I still need to get some for Emma. I have to figure out how many sippy cups I will need for Madison, I am hoping Emma can drink from cups so I don't have to deal with lots of sippy cups. I still need to email the food service person at walt disney world to discuss Madison's allergies. I have to get safe food for Madison for the trip. To top it off I haven't even started my lists, usually my list is made a month in advance. I know this is stupid and I am anal but this is me and I am freaking out. I like to be prepared and I am feeling anything but prepared and there are only 15 days left..AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You know, if worse comes to worst, they probably do sell diapers somewhere in Florida. Maybe even somewhere at Disneyworld. ;-)
 
On your first day there, you buy Emma a straw cup for $12 in a shop and she'll be set for the trip. :-)
