DISNEY!!!!!

This could have gone in my "Weekly Roundup" post, but Carter's first trip to Disneyland (and California Adventure) deserves a post unto itself! Yesterday was unquestionably a day we will never forget! Carter behaved liked a little man and waited in all of the lines with NO whining! I am so thankful that I had already read The Highly Sensitive Child, because it helped me know how to approach this trip. While we were bursting at the seams with excitement, Russ, Madison and I remained calm throughout and I think that really helped things go smoothly. Altogether we went on 11 rides and Carter liked them all! We brought sandwiches for lunch and he even ate that (for those of you who don't know, Carter has never been willing to eat a sandwich before so that was great!). To top things off, he even went potty in the toilet (something he hasn't done since Halloween)!! I'm telling ya, it was an amazing day!

Carter really liked Mater's Junkyard Jamboree!

 The moment he spotted McQueen

Carter touched him and said, "Hi, Lightening McQueen." I think it was pretty surreal for him.

Eating lunch like the big boy he is

Us on the Jungle Cruise (another one of his favorites)

On Pirates of the Caribbean...I thought Carter might have been scared, but he really liked it! After we went down the 2 drops he said, "Look! We made it!"

Birds!! Very pretty, but also a little creepy!

We ended our trip with a train ride around Disneyland. Some of the Christmas decorations were still up near "It's a Small World."

We all enjoyed ourselves so much that we want to get passes now. As Carter himself said, it was AWESOME!
