The Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom.  There's just something so...well, magical about it!  


This park is lots of fun for the little ones, and Abby could ride just about every ride.  There are at least four rides that are basically The Magic Carpets with a different theme, and she loved every one of them!

We all drove on the Speedway.  Caleb was so excited that he was old enough to drive on his own...but not tall enough to reach the pedals.  Boo!  I rode with him.  Let's just say that I am not looking forward to teaching him to drive!  I'm pretty sure I got whiplash.  The funny thing about this ride was when our gas pedal got stuck and I couldn't fix it.  We just kept on going and the crew members couldn't stop us either!  We went around again and I managed to get the gas pedal unstuck by the time we got back.  It was hysterical!

Dumbo is one of the many go-up-in-the-air-and-bounce-up-and-down-a-little rides, but they both loved it.


It's a Small World is a favorite of mine for its air conditioning and a chance to relax.  Caleb hated it and begged to be allowed to stay off.  That wasn't happening, so he suffered through.  


He was excited to see some Irish tap dancers though!

Our ride was stuck for about 10 minutes...right under these clowns.  I have to say that even I found that a little creepy and was glad to get off!


The Sword in the Stone is one of those classic photo opportunities.   A child actually pulled the sword out right before Caleb tried!


The Buzz Lightyear ride is a family favorite, and we rode it several times!



Abby is there--just a little low!


Space Mountain was one of the few rides that we didn't allow Abby to go on.  Given that it is pitch black and we couldn't ride next to her to support her if she got jerked around, we didn't feel it was safe.  She didn't seem to mind!  This was one of Caleb's favorites though.



I'll share about Caleb's favorite part of The Magic Kingdom next time!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

By
Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

By
I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
