Strike A Pose

Yesterday at Disney Hollywood Studios, Cooper got the meet some of the Power Rangers! He was so excited! Even Ava got in the game and struck a pose with Cooper!

Disney Storybook Character Breakfast

Yesterday we took Ava and Cooper to the Storybook Character Breakfast in Epcot's Norway. While we'd probably never spend that kind of money for breakfast alone, all Ava asked for when we told them about going to Disney was to meet Cinderella and the other princesses. In fact, for the day, she wore on of the princess dresses Auntie Ari and Uncle Jeff gave her for Christmas. She was thrilled, and even Cooper was excited (for Ava), and enjoyed it himself, even though he got a little shy a few times!

Splurge!

Vacation Tip: Splurge on the hotel you can afford (or justify) for a special vacation! It's worth the money when your going to use the amenities and friendly, superior customer service is worth it when you come back tired! We are staying at Nickelodeon Hotel and it's worth it! The kids LOVE the pool with huge slides, and it starts at 1/2 foot, so Ava and Cooper can wade in to their comfort level. A game room, Character Breakfast, Characters all over the place, special shows and events (kid centered) all day and night, and a "Kidsuite" that gives them their own bedroom with bunkbeds and a TV, they are in heaven (and so are we!) The only problem so far is fighting over the top bunk!

On the Way to Orlando!

Friday Night Slumber Party

We had a slumber party in the living room last night, which was fun! Family movie, popcorn, sleeping bags, Greta scarfing up the droppings.

About 1am I tried lugging the kids upstairs into their beds and that's when you realize just how much they are growing, especially Cooper. He's getting huge!

Kindergarten

Friday I was able to tour the new school we intend to send Cooper to for Kindergarten in the fall. I was so happy. The ciriculum includes foreign language and comptuers in Kindergarten, very small class size (and small school at that, only 1 Kindergarten class), very open and friendly. They want Cooper to come see the school soon, too, so he can get a preview of where he'll be going. Joey will take him in the next few weeks. I'm sad about him going to Kindergarten (growing up) but I'm very happy he'll be going to this school!
