This year at school we had our accreditation visit. It was a lot of work and I could think of no way better to celebrate than to go to Disneyland with Alexandra and Lucas. They are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2, a great age for the park because they still have all the wonder and amazement which is why it is such a magical place to visit. I had a few highlights from the trip but below is my very favorite. Alexandra has character phobia. She wants to like characters but she just can't. She gets near them and freezes up and says no and usually buries her head in someone's shoulder and asks to be picked up. Well, at the Easter party near the BBQ place, they had springtime dancers and a man came out and asked Alexandra to dance. She was having a great time with him and then all of the sudden from behind came Mickey and Minnie Mouse to dance with the kids. She didn't know what hit her when Minnie grabbed her hand to start dancing. Now, in my head I was thinking this could go bad, but I think because she was trying to impress the "man with the orange shirt" she just went ahead and danced. She was so cute and the look on her face went from nervousness to pure pride that she did it! She ran over to us and exclaimed that she was no longer afraid of characters- so cute. She then wanted to get in line with her little Aurora costume and take a picture. The two below are priceless of her and Lucas talking to Mickey and Minnie with big smiles. It only lasted a day and the next day she was back to her character phobia but it was worth every penny of the trip to capture this moment!
Mr. Easter Bunny also turned out to be deemed OK while the character phobia was gone. Cute picture with both of them!
