The Breakdown of a Great Disney Day

8:00am: Wake up and play with the tyke for a bit after Daddy feeds him breakfast.

9:30am: Decide that since it's going to be such a lovely day, that we simply must make a trip to Disneyland.


10:00 am: Start getting ready.  Pack some food in the stroller, get my fanny pack ready, and give Stevie a bottle.

11:00 am: Start the drive.  Stevie sleeps the whole way.  Rock out to some grown-up music.


12:30pm: Inside the park.  Mickey and Pluto greet us.




1:00 pm: Find food ASAP.  The corn dog cart line is too long.  Hungry Bear cafe is the next stop.


1:15pm: The manager hooks me up with a free cupcake the size of my head. (Yeah, it pays to know people)


1:20 pm: Consume the best Diet Coke eva.


1:45 pm: First ride. The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.  Stevie is mesmerized.


2:00 pm: Bathroom break & diaper change. {Do we have to?!}


2:15 pm: Second ride. The Jungle Cruise.  Stevie gets splashed by water, which makes him cry.  But he recovers and laughs at the elephants.


2:45 pm: Do some window shopping.

3:00 pm: Head over to CA Adventure for the third and final ride of the day. The Little Mermaid.  Stevie is in love with Ariel and all the fish.


3:30 pm: Leave the park and walk back to the parking structure.



4:00 pm: Get on the road.

5:30 pm: After fighting a bit of traffic, we arrive home.  But Stevie is still sleeping.  Drive around the neighborhood for another half hour so he can get a longer nap.

6:00 pm: We arrive home and are both in a good mood after such a fun day.

We were only there for 3 hours, but sometimes Disneyland is just as magical in small doses.  And I didn't bring my camera for the FIRST TIME EVER.  It was great.  I paid more attention to my baby boyfriend.  We loved every single second.  No time for grumpiness.

Hair

Just wanted to show off the craziness that is Stevie's hair.  He's got a bit of a mad scientist look going on.  But I just love it!

Eye Surgery Postponed AGAIN.

So... Stevie was supposed to have eye surgery in January.  But as you may recall, that got postponed at the last minute.  We have been waiting patiently for his rescheduled operation this coming Monday.

This past week was spent at pre-op appointments and on the phone getting things squared away.  Friday morning, he woke up with green snot running down his face.  A cold.  So I spent the morning on the phone with his eye doctor, Children's Hospital, and his pediatrician.  Surgery would have to be postponed once again.

Bah.

Since it's an elective procedure and especially because he has an underlying condition, he must be completely symptom free for 4 weeks.  No cough of any kind, no cold, no nothing.  Healthy as an ox.

So again we wait.  This time, we have to postpone until mid-June.

I am trying not to feel frustrated.  Everyone keeps telling me it's a good thing.  It's for a reason.  But my main concern is that his eye sight is so bad, it is delaying his development more and more.  Also, I'm a little sick of patching his eyes.  I'm anxious to get it done.

Not that I have much of a choice at this point.  So June it is.  Fingers crossed.

New

Look who finally learned how to pull himself up on the furniture!  (Not an easy task, since there's not much to hold on to)  He looks so big!
