Disneyland

We went spent Mother's day at Disneyland!
Flew out Thursday morning, it was Lucy's first flight! She was so excited. We were on the plane for maybe 15 minutes when she said to me "I'm done ridding on a plane now". But she was so good. We landed in Orange county, collected our bags, went to the potty and then went to get our rental car, while I was signing the final papers and the cashier was doing all the final paper work. Lucy  tells me she has to potty, I told her she had to wait just a few minutes and then I would take her (again) so she started to walk laps around the stroller singing, "when you have to go potty stop and go right away, flush and wash and be on your way" The Hertz guy was amused laughed and told me I could take her and he would finish up. 
We got our car and headed to the beach! Where I found Lucy totally passed out in her seat. So I took her out and we sat on the beach for maybe 10 minutes before she announced she was starving! Off to In n' Out we went. While we were waiting for our food the conversation goes like this
Lucy- "Mom, Do you want to talk about Frozen?" 
Me- "Sure!"
Lucy-"Isn't Elsa so pretty? With her sparkly dress!"
Me- "Yeah she is"
Lucy- "Its blue, like Cinderella's. I love her"
Make me wonder how this little mind works!
The next morning I had told her that we were going to Goofy's kitchen for breakfast and had anticipated her sleeping in. She stayed up later then usual and was so tired, I even called and pushed our reservation back a little. Around 6 she wakes up and gets really close to my face and whispers in my ear, "Its time for Goofy's Kitchen!". Four hours later we arrived at Goofy's kitchen. She had a blast! The characters came to our table, She met Chip, Dale, Pluto, Mini and Goofy. They came twice, the first time she was nervous and asked for their autographs, the second time she warmed up talked and even gave some hugs. Goofy was off in his corner kitchen, and we saw him last. She was pretty excited. She loved Mini and Goofy. 
We met up with the Solomon crew a little later and hit the race expo. It was the biggest race expo I've seen...or been to. Anything and everything you could possibly think of or need for running was there. That night we saw an Angles game, they won.
The next morning we went to the Hollywood Blvd. walked the stars, saw the Chinese theater, hit the farmers market for lunch, had a Sprinkles cupcake and went to the beach. Lucy had a blast, there was tons to see, not to mention she entertained about everyone in the car for a half hour saying "bum-ble bee" For some reason she thought it was hilarious. 
Sunday morning, Tasha and I got up at 5 am and headed to the Tinkerbell half marathon! It was crazy, So many people in costumes! We didn't think to bring cash and scored free parking! Way to be unprepared! We ran the coolest race ever through Disneyland and California adventure, And met up with everyone at the finish line. We then headed to Disneyland for the day,
Lucy had a blast! We rode rides and met princesses. Meeting the princesses was pretty cool. Everything this little girl wanted to do, we did it. She was so tired, happy and excited to see everything. It was such a fun day! At the end of the night I had told her we would pick out a toy. She was so tired, but I could tell she was staying awake to pick out a toy! As soon as we checked out and she had the bag in her little fist she fell asleep!
We were suppose to fly home Monday, but there was a delay and we couldn't fly home till Tuesday. Solomon's to the rescue, we got to spend a day at the beach with them!
Some how Lucy stayed awake and happy both plane rides. As soon as she got into her car seat in Boise it was over. We landed at 2 and she slept till 630. We both woke up, ate some dinner and went back to bed! It was such a fun tilled weekend and I'm glad we got to go.

May

It's been a fun fast month!
She is a happy kid. Got her school pictures back, they're pretty cute. I have to admit there is a certain feel and look to them. She doesn't quite look like herself. She looks a little nervous, but it is rather adorable.
I made her a little castle hide away in her room. She insisted on sleeping in it so I gave up making her sleep in her bed and put her crib mattress in it, she now sleeps very happily every night.
She is getting harder to distract. And she remembers things for much longer periods of time.
I came home from Las Vegas and picked her up. On the way home I mentioned that I had a surprise for her. So she says to me "oh! A surprise! I'm so excited! Is it a hand bag? or...no? I replied its a surprise you'll have to wait till we get home to see, and she says "Is it ponies?! or...no?" So I said again, its a surprise, we're almost home. You'll have to wait to see, she then takes a quick inhale and says "Is it pink!... or no?". 
She is very observant. She notices My little ponies, Princess anything or really any character merchandise from a mile away.
I took her to the zoo for the first time this year. She loved it! She even fed the goats! I was very proud of her too for going down the big slide by the monkey cages. There were lots of kids and she normally freezes up and decides not to do whatever all the other kids are doing, but she hiked up there and then stood by the side, gripped the chain fence and looked at me scared till a nice little girl stopped the boys behind her and let her go down by herself. 
She has opened up her comfort zone quite a bit, I use to take her with me to work every now and then for a client or two, she would hang out at my station with us and color or play with my ipad, just content in her own little world. Now she talks to my clients and tells them her favorite color and asks them what theirs is. Wants us to watch her twirl and jump. It makes me laugh how she suddenly opens up and just talks and talks.
She is a smart little thing. She is aware of when she throws tantrums and fits. And will apologize about it after wards. I hear that it shows remorse and its a good thing. Its pretty cute, and very sweet. It almost makes you want to give into whatever the fit was about! ALMOST
I found princess gold fish crackers, They're pink- I sang the song- I love goldfishes they're so delicious, so now whenever she is eating anything she says "This is so delicious" (pronounced alicious or salicious)
