As I loaded the kids in the car yesterday, Jonah was dawdling, as usual. I told him to hurry up and get in his booster seat. He frowned at me and, with a heaping dose of sass, said, "no". I gave him my mommy glare, and you could tell in his expression that he knew he was treading on thin ice. He looked at me out of the corner of his eye and I heard him say, "no......problem".
That's right little man. That's. Right.
Naturally, Jonah felt the need to sniff her (he has underwear on. I promise.)...
Jonah has been a big ham for the camera lately. I took some pictures of him in his Cowboy Woody costume the other day. He's not having much trouble getting into character...
One of Michael's coworkers loaned us a Buzz Lightyear costume. Which means Jonah has to make the biggest decision of his life so far. Stay tuned. His brain may just explode.
Gracie spit up this morning (a normal occurance). Before I could snag a burp cloth and make it back to wipe her up, our dog, Lucy, had licked her face clean. Jonah witnessed it, and instead of telling me about the incident, he chose to learn from it. What did he learn, you ask? To lick his sister's face. A big, tongue-all-the-way-out, slobbery, swipe across her forehead.
He also shook himself dry after his bath last night.
We're back from California. It was a wonderful time for all of us! I've posted a ton of pictures below to recap the vacation...
Finally to the park! There's a lot to take in...
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride was Jonah's first Disneyland ride. I wasn't sure if he was going to be overwhelmed and scared, or love it.
the teacups were a hit too...
and, believe it or not, he totally loved the Matterhorn Bobsleds! I didn't get to ride it with him, so I waited at the exit, biting my nails. I was expecting him to come off with a tear-streaked face, but he was all smiles!
the roller coaster in Toontown was NOT a smashing success. Jonah spent the entire ride with his face buried in Michael's shirt...
But, he never cried! He just kept saying, "no more roller coasters".
Jonah spent the parade on Daddy's and Papaw's shoulders. Bob's hair looked hilarious after the parade. Nice and fluffy...
After a few more rides in Tomorrow Land, it was off to California Adventure. We managed to find exactly what we all needed on a hot day. Air-conditioned rides! Here's the lovely Roz from the Monsters Inc. ride...
The highlight of the day was the Pixar parade...
We managed to make it the entire day without a nap, so it wasn't surprising when Jonah slumped over in his carseat on the way back to the hotel....
Gracie had been sleeping all day in her sling, so she was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed...
I'm surprised the 3-D glasses stayed on...
Bob and Janice (Papaw and Meemaw) were able to ride some rides of their own choosing...
We're off to Disneyland tomorrow! We'll be driving there and staying Sunday through Thursday. EXCITING!!!
Our recent road trip to Texas with a potty trained (boy-type) toddler was a smashing success. I'm positive we will do just as well on this short (5 hours vs. 13 hours) ride to CA.
