Disney World!

We took the boys to Disney World for the first time this month. Charles was so cute! He slept from the airport to the hotel, so he didn't get to look around until the next morning. That's when he saw our connecting door to the next room. He walked over and swung it open to find Bee Bee standing there. He got the biggest from in his face and spread his arms wide for her to pick him up.
When he met the first few characters, he was nervous and pulled away from them. But the third day when we went to Hollywood Studios, we met Stitch, and that changed it all. He grabbed for Stitch and was then gone to meet Woody and Buzz later that day and all the others after that. He really liked the pretty princesses, too.
Charles also liked to fly. He rode Dumbo, Aladdin's magic carpet, rockets, flying dinosaurs. He loved it! He tried to join the musicians in frontier land and danced to their music. He stared at Jack Sparrow's pirate training, listening to every word.
His favorite were the parades! He loved the music and seeing all the characters. He got so into them and clapped enthusiastically! It was great!

Flying trains

The boys got a surprise present from their elves this morning--more track for their trains to go around the Christmas tree. While William busily set to work constructing a new track, Charles kept taking the trains off the tracks send carrying them around. Suddenly I noticed as hd carried his engine, Charles had it flying through the air and was making a "swoosh" sound as it flew! Amazing! At 15 months, he already knows how to make sound effects.

Mema's hat

Charles found Mema's red cowboy hat in a bag that was sent home with us yesterday. Charles loves hats and was soon wearing it around the house. William saw Charles wearing the hat and laughingly started calling out, "Mema! MeMa! Oh, it's Charles."
