ABC song

Disney 2009

We took our vacation early again this summer. This year we went to Walt Disney World. Abby got to experience her first airplane ride. The 2 hour flight to Orlando turned into a 3 hour experience after being grounded for one hour just before take off at BWI. But Abby did great on her first airplane ride.

Here is Abby looking at the "hair panes" as she calls them. And then enjoying coloring and eating a snack during the flight.



On our first day in Disney World we went to Magic Kingdom and ate breakfast in the castle at Cinderella's Royal Table with all the princesses. Abby got to ride in the elevator with Cinderella- and I think Abby thought she was going to be eating breakfast with us. Abby loved seeing all the princesses, but I think she may have liked eating the scrambled eggs and muffins just a little more.








She loved riding the Dumbo ride, the carousel, the Teacups, and It's a Small World.
























But more than anything, she LOVED seeing the characters. She got so excited each time she saw one. She ran up to all of them and gave them a big hug and kisses. She could barely wait her turn in line to greet them. It didn't matter who it was, she loved them all.

















It was a great trip, and wonderful to see Abby so excited. We can't wait to go back !!!

Easter 2009

Abby liked the Easter Bunny, at least until she got close enough to sit on his lap. While standing in line, she was waving and laughing at the Bunny, and was saying "sit", as if she wanted to sit on his lap.

When it was our turn, I asked if she wanted to sit with the Bunny and she said "sit". As we moved closer, she changed her mind and said "no". She did not react as badly as she did with Santa, but she still wanted no part in sitting on the Bunny's lap.

Although it looks as if she was traumatized in the photo, a few seconds after she got off his lap, she was waving and laughing again at the bunny.

Easter

Abby and her Easter baskets, at about 6:30 a.m. on Easter morning. The Easter Bunny filled her baskets with lots of books and toys. She really liked her Minnie Mouse, which she just calls "Mouse" and her Disney princess cell phone.

As you can see, she did enjoy the chocolate that was in her basket too!!!

Egg hunt

Abby had fun at the Easter egg hunt at her daycare, especially because she was the only child in her class who could walk and search for the eggs. The other girls who were there are only at the crawling stage.

Say Cheese!

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Abby was watching Sesame Street and one of her favorite songs came on, Itsy Bitsy Spider.

The song played twice. The first time- before the camera was on- she moved her hands to the song, pretending to be a spider, and the rain falling down, etc. The second time, I had my camera hoping to catch it all over again, but this time she just decided to "dance" to the song, aka spin in a circle. I still thought it was adorable, especially when she clapped at the end.
