It's our first experience caring about spring break for 12 years - the last time one of us was in school. Micah has this week off. We started off our week with a trip to Disney on Monday. We headed out earlier in the day to work with the boys' schedules better. Here's Liam taking a little stroll in the Winnie the Pooh playground...
...and here's the video clip of it. By the way, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to rotate this clip. If anyone knows how to do this and can help me, please leave a comment with instructions!!
Micah not only likes his own belly button, but he likes to show Liam his.
Liam conked out in his stroller as we were leaving the Magic Kingdom and slept almost all the way to Epcot.
Micah was close, but never went to sleep until the car ride home.
Hanging out in Epcot's version of England's cool phone booths.
It's pretty warm in there.
Tim and I both have memories of going to Disney when we were little and being able to pick out one stuffed animal. For as many times as we've been to Disney, we haven't purchased much of anything for the boys except for food. (Micah has a Lightning McQueen shirt on, and a woman behind us on the train asked me if I had gotten the shirt there in the Magic Kingdom. I told her nope - garage sale for 50 cents. A little better deal, I think.)
At any rate, Tim had some money left on a gift card, so we decided to splurge twelve whole dollars and let Micah pick out his own stuffed animal. He chose Mickey Mouse, who now goes everywhere with us.
Daddy, Micah and Mickey ride the monorail back to our car.
On Tuesday, we were outside of our house for a bit, walking around the block and enjoying the beautiful temperate day. We know that all too soon we'll be stuck inside all day because of the brutal Florida sun so we're trying to get out as much as we can now.
Micah decided to put his feet on top of the mold that Tim made for me for Mother's Day last year. You can't quite tell, but the foot imprints beneath are much smaller than his feet now, showing me that he really is growing up right before my eyes.
Liam liked hanging out on a blanket chewing on Spiderman.
I liked taking pictures of his beautiful little toes.
Riding his big wheel. Turns out, riding it is almost as fun as pushing it.
For some reason, I love this picture of the two of them (four, including Mickey and Spiderman).
Micah jumping to touch the tree in our front yard.
If you look closely at his waist, you can see the dark color that is the top of his underpants. That's right - we may have had fun at Disney on Monday, but don't be too envious. The rest of this week is all about this:
staying in and potty-training Micah. I want him to be able to do Vacation Bible School at church this summer, as well as at least one of the preschool camps. He can't do any of those if he's not potty-trained. He's been doing really well, and in fact, just went poo-poo on the potty. I woke up Liam from his nap because I was celebrating so much. Who ever thought I would care so much about someone else's bowel movements?
Finally, another sign of some non-fun this week: the collection of items that Micah left outside of his door while he was not napping yesterday. An interesting array, I thought. His Pooh book, a toy fire truck, and his dirty socks. Wonder what message he was trying to send...
