Oh, that is so scary - I'm glad that Izzy didn't hit her head and that she ended up being fine. I had one of those slow-motion seeing Rory fall experiences about 2 weeks ago - it's like time is standing still as it happens. That is so cool about Chip and Dale coming over to make Izzy feel better, and that you got the whole thing on Photopass!
That is exactly it - time just stands still and the moment of seeing them fall feels like it goes on forever. It was really wonderful that Chip and Dale came out when they did and that the Photopass person was observant enough to get some pictures.
That sounds very scary and super glad you were able to catch Izzy before she got really hurt ... scared is definitely better than hurt.
Totally agree - I'll take scared over hurt any day. Though I'm sure the lady thought the tears meant she was hurt, so maybe that was part of the weirdness.
What an odd interaction with that woman. Maybe just wanted to converse to make you feel batter/that she understood and was trying to relate - but obviously kinda poorly.
I think that was probably it. She was probably trying to be friendly, but in her own, unique way. It just wasn't really feeling good to me in that moment.
So cool for some pixie dust though and having Chip and Dale cheer Izzy up!
That was so great and made me wonder if the CMs had seen what happened or if they would have interacted with her anyway.
Oh dear, as soon as I read "backless" chair, I feared where this was going. Thank goodness you were able to react so quickly.
Yeah, I thought that might be a spoiler, but wanted to set the scene. So glad I was close enough to grab her. I still have no clue how it happened - she knew how to sit, but just went flying back.
Hmmmm, I'm starting to wonder if this was all a ploy by Izzy to delay leaving just long enough for the Munks to return for an impromptu meet.
Hey, maybe that's what happened.
She is pretty clever. And it did work.
Seriously, these are some of the best meet photos ever. Not posed or in a pre-defined place, but completely natural. Awesome!!
Thanks! I love that too - just capturing some moments outside of the normal meet-and-greet scenario. It was all so sweet and special and I'm glad we have some photos so we know it really happened.
Oh how scary. I'm so glad she wasn't hurt. And poor Mama, too! Glad it turned out ok and she got such a special Meet and Greet!
Thanks, it was probably at least as scary for me as for her! So glad that Chip and Dale were there to get us past that.
It looks like Izzy really enjoyed the petting zoo!
She did! It's a nice place to have some unstructured play time - especially for animal-loving-kiddos.
Scary moment with the almost-fall! That stuff happens so quickly! I can't even count the number of times the boys fall, and of course there is always an audience. It seems like the lady wanted to make conversation? Lonely but a weird way to relate!!
It really is amazing how quickly you can go from a peaceful moment to a horrifying one. And there had been nobody around, so this woman must have just rolled up right while it was happening and boy was she gawking!
(<=just like this).
Cute pictures of the Chip and Dale meet! They are so cuddly!
Thanks - they are really huggable, for sure!
Izzy doesn't look pleased on that train ride. What fun is a ride where you have to sit down after you just practiced some serious acrobatics on a bench??
Exactly! She's normally pretty good at sitting on transportation, but she was just not in a sitting mood after that incident, I guess.
So life got a little too busy and I just had time to really check out the SWW thread today! It is extremely helpful but now it has me looking at adding an extra day! So here goes an extra day of planning!!
Haha, it does have the ability to do that! Heck, I'm not even a Star Wars person, but it gets me pumped up about everything there is to do!
You are a super hero mom! That was an amazing catch and I'm glad you were able to prevent something more serious! You absolutely weren't doing anything wrong so no need to worry about what other people think. Parents are people too and sometimes need to look away for a minute!
Aw, thanks!
I only did what any other mom would do. Thanks for making me feel better about it.
That's so cute that Izzy got her own personal meet and greet with Chip and Dale! I'm sure that helped her to immediately feel better! That's why Disney is so awesome!
It really is something that showcases how awesome Disney can be.
Couldn't have happened at a better time!
Ugh, the judgy eyes. Anyone who's a parent knows that things happen in a split second. And I totally get the grabbing the leg save. In my mind, that's a win. Go you for being quick on your feet! And that Chip and Dale interaction probably made her forget about the scare.
Thanks! I was so glad I caught her in time, but looking up the that woman just staring at me with that disapproving look was unpleasant. So glad that Chip and Dale were there to follow her act.
