Kidney stones? At DISNEY?
Glad to hear that they only caused discomfort rather than serious pain, though. If you
must have a kidney stone on vacation, that's the way to go.
He still hasn't passed it!
The Ariel dress looks cute and comfy -- I don't know how kids stand the "official" ones, I'd have been miserable in them as a kid. The picture of your daughter holding your son's hand at Belle's is so cute!
The dress worked well---it was too big for her and I had to pin the back. However, maybe that means she can wear it next year?!?!?!
And I love it when my kids are being sweet together. Sadly it doesn't come often enough for me!
It breaks my heart when I've planned something nice for one of the kids and they're sick or it otherwise doesn't work out. Much bigger disappointment than when I've planned something "for me" and it goes wonky.
Part of being a parent, I guess.
Agree!
My mom is really good at looking back at things that weren't so hot at the time and "seeing past" being sick or whatever to the intentions, so her memories are often terrific even if the experience wasn't. With my mom, it really is "the thought that counts". Maybe your daughter will end up remembering her dinner in the Castle that way, so that it becomes a cool experience in retrospect.
I sure hope so! I am one who tries to look at the positive side of things as well.
My mom's memory may work weird, but it's right in that the fact that you cared enough to try to do that for your daughter is a valuable thing in itself. The working world may demand performance, but when it comes to showing love, intentions really can matter as much as results.
