Disneyland - May 2011

Toward the end of May, Mark, Boston, and I made a spontaneous trip out to Anaheim to go to Disneyland. Mark's mom, grandma, and niece and nephew joined us. We had a blast. It was amazing how much Boston took in. He loves Mickey Mouse, as we all know, so it was like complete magic to him. He was so excited to meet Mickey Mouse and Goofy! At first he just stared at them and grinned, but then he totally ran up to them. It was the cutest thing ever!

Here's Boston in his "Mousie-Hat". We had it embroidered "Hot Boston," since anything to do with Mickey Mouse is "Hot." He still wears it all the time.

Here we are waiting to go on Dumbo. He totally loved all the rides. I was shocked he was so into it being so young!

Here he is eating a churro for the first time. Yummy.

And, of course, no trip to Disney is complete without the Teacups!

Here's my boy, checking himself out in the mirror at the hotel. He is so funny!

Two of my very favorite parts of the trip were the Disney Junior live of stage, and the World of Color. Boston absolutely loved both. At Disney Junior, he got to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on stage, with little clips of other shows he loves. He was totally enthralled and grinned the whole time. At World of Color, he was so happy and in awe, that he wrapped his arms around Mark (who was holding him at the time) and gave him a huge hug and grinned at him. He was way too cute!

Quotable Quotes

The other day Boston and I were at the church for a little singing play group. He must have been getting sick of it, because half way into it, he runs across the room, drags over the diaper bag, hands me the strap, and says, "Come on, mom. Let's get outta here!"

Today I go to get in my car and open the door for Boston to climb in. He runs over to Mark's car and says, "No, mommy! I wanna my daddy's car!"

After asking Boston if he wants a cheeseburger... "No! I not cheeseburger! I nuggets!" We go through this everyday, as he usually wants nuggets or a hot dog, no matter what I'm offering.

Getting Boston ready for bed... Me: "Boston, do you want to wear your Mickey Mouse pants?" Boston: (squealing) "Yes! Hot Dog, Hot Pants!"

Today Mark is eating a grapefruit, and Boston (thinking it's an orange) wants some. Mark puts a small piece into Boston's open mouth... Boston looks at Mark with a look of deepest digust, spits it out, does a full-body shudder, and says, "Ucky, be-be! Ucky, be-be!"

The other day Boston tells Nikki, "Mama, I wanna nugget!" He later tells me, "Mama! Mama! I wanna coke!" Lovely.

Me: Boston, what does a doggie say? Boston: Arf, arf, Pluto!

The other day, Boston was watching Mickey Mouse (as always) and I told him we were going bye-bye. He turns to the TV and says, "OK, bye-bye, see ya, Dedo (Pluto), Daisy, Mmmm Mouse!" This kid is so dang cute!

This afternoon I asked Boston if he wanted some fruit snacks. He got a huge grin on his face, said, "Yeah!", followed me to the kitchen, and when I handed him the pack, he exclaimed, "Ooooooh, deg-nuh (thank you)!" Too cute.

Mark talking about how much he has been taking care of Boston (and thus changing diapers) the past month... "I'm getting so good! I changed a really stinky one the other day, and I only gagged once! I was proud of myself!"

Mark singing to Boston, who is fussy with gas, "I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt... I'm gonna push that poop right outta my butt, and send it down the drain!"
