Today at dinnertime Abigail, once again, ended the meal by standing up in her highchair and throwing food off the tray on to the ground. Addie was laughing her head off. I got totally mad and told Abigail, "No no NO. This is not what we do!" Then I turned to the still-laughing Addie and stated firmly, "and DON'T laugh at this- it's not funny. Now I have to clean this whole mess up." Addie got all serious and said, thoughtfully, "But Mommy, I wasn't laughing at you cleaning... I was laughing at Abigail throwing things on to the floor." How can I respond to that logic?

Before the Christmas break we had the opportunity to visit the magical land of Disney. I don't think I've ever seen the true look of "wonderment" on 2 kids' faces like I did the day we went to visit where dreams come true. Here's a photo storybook to give you a taste...

Don't know what's wrong with the kid... Who would be scared of a huge, giant man in a red supersuit and a permanent smile?

...and why wouldn't the big, scary monster scare her?

This was so cute. I caught them holding hands and snapped a photo before the moment was gone. They must have been like this for 5 minutes... priceless!

Addie's dream come true!!!! My dream come true!! Abigail's dream... you know the rest.

Everyone asleep at once? Dan's dream come true. We wheeled them out to the car with both of them OUT.
