Hanging out with Julia in Orlando. She is eating strawberries and I am sitting on the floor. We just decorated the poncho that we bought for Disney for the rest of the week. She scribbled on it in her very cute style and I drew flowers, clouds and wrote “no rain” on it. Attempted to draw a duck but pretty sure it looks just like a platypus.
It rained at Disney today and the forecast does not look good for the rest of the week. Grrrr. Missing a big blizzard at home, school already canceled for tomorrow. At least it is not snowing here, but I wanted to feel some sun on my face. Nothing compares to that delicious feeling of a warm face from the sun’s glow and I was excited to come here for that.
Staying at a cool place. It’s kind of old on the outside, but it’s not run down and the grounds are very lush. Two bedrooms, two baths, the master having a giant Jacuzzi tub. Outside of the glass door overlooking a pond are three or four crazy looking ducks right now, which are keeping Julia entertained. Also at least four stray cats, one very mangy and kind of beat up. At one point, I looked out and saw him on the patio and thought he was dead. He wasn’t though. Phew.
Flight was relatively uneventful yesterday. Got lucky and the one empty seat ended up in front of us so the guy who was next to me moved into it so Julia could have her own seat. Used every single trick that I had in my bag to keep her entertained, including dvds, crayons, markers, poker chips, books, and a Tupperware container of pasta. She loved it all. Had no interest whatsoever in sleeping with me, though.
Auntie KK just left to head home. Julia is speaking with her on the phone right now,. She’s holding up the phone to Oscar the Grouch that is on my shirt, now she is holding the phone up to the laptop. Now she is pretending to chomp on the apple that’s on the front of the MacBook.
It’s fun having her all to myself and not having the distractions of home.
Just put her to bed, Mickey tires you out.
