Love this, that's so cute!
So, I basically made a full-speed lap around the track, barely slowing down for a few pictures. I saw the area, but didn’t really see the area, if you know what I mean. It was awesome, though, even cruising through it way too quickly. I didn’t see it for much longer than it will take you to look at these pictures:
They really did such a great job with this area!
(and we will likely get to do so later this year…woohoo!! )
Well, turns out they go first-come, first-served by bringing the notice to the driver. And they overbook!
Are you serious?! Why the heck do they even have us make reservations then if it's first come, first served?? I'd be PO'd.
You may not be showing it, but someone else is clearly!
That is pretty darn awesome! Guess being patient pays off sometimes.
“the Magic is over.”
The quote from Mary Poppins came to mind: "Oh that's sad. That's the saddest thing i've ever heard."
The mom and I got to talking, as she asked about Izzy’s Pacigrip (the clip that keeps her pacifier from falling on the ground). Her daughter had the same paci, but was constantly dropping and/or losing it. I told her what it was and then she told me about how her daughter was really attached to those pacis and she had made several unsuccessful attempts to get her to break the habit. She had done some of the things I’d heard recommended: tell her daughter the “paci fairy” was going to take them and leave her a gift, ask her daughter to put them in a package for a new baby that needs them, etc. Nothing worked, though. Her daughter was just too attached and refused to entertain any offers. So, this is where the story gets strange. The mom decided to take a different approach and took all the pacis one day, then told her daughter that “the mean witches came and took them.” Strangely enough, it actually worked and her daughter was okay with that explanation because, well, that’s what mean witches do. The only problem was that the “witches” only hid them instead of disposing them and failed to inform the babysitter. Naturally, the babysitter gave them all back the next day. So, now her daughter is always paranoid that the mean witches are going to come back and steal them from her. If anything, it made her even more irrationally attached to them. Yikes!
Yikes for sure! Poor kid will now be scared of witches for life!
I remember Dr. Harvey Karp (of Happiest Baby on the Block fame) came to speak to our moms’ group at work and someone asked him about pacis
That is really cool that you got to see him speak at your work. So he actually said that pacis don't cause harm at all? Not even to the structure of their teeth or anything?
Now she only uses them to fall asleep and throws them back into her crib each morning! So, thankfully, I don’t have to be that woman on the bus this trip.
That's exactly what we've been doing for a few months too! I go in there in the mornings and say, "Spit it out" and he'll do it and not look back. Naps and bedtime only. I keep saying, "after this trip i'll work on getting rid of it" but then another trip pops up and i'm like, "okay, after THAT trip, definitely!" So right now i'm saying, "After this Oregon/WA trip, we'll work on it."
Back to that bus ride: to supplement the story, the daughter did indeed drop and lose that paci on the bus ride. It was nowhere to be found (I know from experience that those things can bounce like crazy and end up way far from where they were dropped). They searched around (I tried to help look too), but gave up and left the bus at the first airport stop without her beloved paci (though I’m sure they had more).
After that whole story she ended up losing it! You're right though, those soothies roll and bounce everywhere. You know, now that i'm thinking about it, you were the one years ago that told me about the soothies. Maybe the one that fed the facts, should do the paci weaning
In general, she doesn’t like chicken nuggets , but she approves of the ones from Chick-Fil-A (and we discovered the other day that Wendy’s also received her seal of approval)
Some super “helpful” guy told me she lost her shoe. Yeah, no kidding, but I can’t get to it.
Pefect shot!
The guy behind me was super nice and helpful. He kept offering to assist me and I finally agreed to let him carry the stroller down.
That's great that he noticed you struggling a bit and offered to help.
got really excited when she saw the Oreo 2-pack…until she opened it and one was already broken. Broken food is the worst thing ever!
This just makes me die! Izzy is such a character!
We landed and the girl across from us (that I mentioned earlier) got a text that some young people she semi-knew had died that night – I heard her calling her mom and saying, “remember so-and-so? Her niece and nephew died tonight.” I think I heard her say they were 32. Ugh, that’s not the news you want when you turn your phone back on after a flight. Reminds me of when our honeymoon flight landed 10 years ago and my mom called to tell me my grandpa had passed away. So sad. Overhearing that conversation made me even more grateful for all I have.
Oh that's just awful. So was this on the way to your honeymoon or coming home? That's awful, i'm so sorry
We got her right to bed and I went to bed with a headache that turned into a stomach flu the next day.
Yikes, at least this happened when you got home and not on the last day of your trip.
I know you already left but I hope you guys have an amazing time and can't wait to hear all about it! And hopefully see pics of Izzy in that cute ewok suit!
