The Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom.  There's just something so...well, magical about it!  


This park is lots of fun for the little ones, and Abby could ride just about every ride.  There are at least four rides that are basically The Magic Carpets with a different theme, and she loved every one of them!

We all drove on the Speedway.  Caleb was so excited that he was old enough to drive on his own...but not tall enough to reach the pedals.  Boo!  I rode with him.  Let's just say that I am not looking forward to teaching him to drive!  I'm pretty sure I got whiplash.  The funny thing about this ride was when our gas pedal got stuck and I couldn't fix it.  We just kept on going and the crew members couldn't stop us either!  We went around again and I managed to get the gas pedal unstuck by the time we got back.  It was hysterical!

Dumbo is one of the many go-up-in-the-air-and-bounce-up-and-down-a-little rides, but they both loved it.


It's a Small World is a favorite of mine for its air conditioning and a chance to relax.  Caleb hated it and begged to be allowed to stay off.  That wasn't happening, so he suffered through.  


He was excited to see some Irish tap dancers though!

Our ride was stuck for about 10 minutes...right under these clowns.  I have to say that even I found that a little creepy and was glad to get off!


The Sword in the Stone is one of those classic photo opportunities.   A child actually pulled the sword out right before Caleb tried!


The Buzz Lightyear ride is a family favorite, and we rode it several times!



Abby is there--just a little low!


Space Mountain was one of the few rides that we didn't allow Abby to go on.  Given that it is pitch black and we couldn't ride next to her to support her if she got jerked around, we didn't feel it was safe.  She didn't seem to mind!  This was one of Caleb's favorites though.



I'll share about Caleb's favorite part of The Magic Kingdom next time!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it ...

Bath Time Photos!!

By
As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head.  It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!!  (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture.  They are NEVER far away!)

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

By
Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun!  They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults.  There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun.   The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko."   This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas.  Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too.  :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap.  The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers  Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too.  He knows m...
