Bouncing on Bounce Backs (Update Pg 20 post 299)

[dizziedupbaby0127]

I hope your sweet child or dh don't catch your bug! Those type of things are not fun to share.

Thanks for the info on the photopass. Still waiting for the email. The simba one is really cute! Do you just ask if they can do those special photos? Is there some kind of buzz word to use to ask for them?

Pictures posted on the TR. He did surprisingly well. Thanks so much for the prayers and thoughts. He laid so still to get them. They put him in a private room to do it. The whole office is very relaxing and calming. Each chair has a view of a lake. The lake is like something you would see at Disney. There is a robotic alligator in there that occasionally moves, there is a crashed plane, robot frogs, but real Koi in the lake.

We went to MK later in the afternoon. We made the best out of it.

Eating was hard for him though. He drank a carnation instant breakfast drink, applesauce and icecream. He tried to eat a small pretzel stick and it took him an hour to suck it. He had a difficult time chewing his seizure medicine too. But this morning it went down with no problem!

Oh your right! Photopass didn't give out codes this year, the credit is already applied in your cart! One less step! I should have read it again before I posted! We have done it before so I didn't think things changed

I was trying to remember if we asked for the magic poses or not, i think I asked for Simba and once we asked for stitch but the photopass person said they weren't trained how to do stitch so they couldn't but directed us to someone who might. If you check out the stitchkingdom photopass site, i think they have the maps with the special photos listed maybe make a note and when your in those areas I would just ask if they can do the "...." photo. Some Photopass people (In keeping with the magic) wont tell you what they are doing and just have you do these silly poses! Good Luck and remember you can keep your pictures for 30 days, so if you stop by again even before your trip or after get a photopass pic and add it!

Being sick I totally miss Anikin getting braces! I'm glad hes doing well! What a grown up little guy you have! If he ever gets blue, just remind him girls LIKE nice teeth

 

[mommy2mrb]

Happy to hear getting the braces on went good...hope he's feeling better this morning!

 

[lovethattink]

He had a good day yesterday, he was able to eat spaghetti for lunch and a sandwich for dinner. He snacked on a yogurt. He was happy he could eat. He even tried gum, but it was too difficult. He cried about the gum.

The best thing to happen in the last couple days is that his seizures and myoclonic activity has stopped!! He had a little twitching this morning but it was much less than he's been having! I'm wondering if it's the change in diet or possibly the pressure of the braces? Whatever it is, we'll take it!!

6 more days to CSR!!!!

Keeping my eye on Invest 97-L that may turn into Irene. I hope it does not become another Charlie as the buzz on our news seems to indicate. They are really hyping it up and that makes me nervous. I should stop listening to the news.

Invest 97-L's path

Printed out the mousekeeping envelopes and a stroller plate from MouseForLess. Anakin loved the pirate envelope and just had to have one printed out for himself. He says he is going to put a note for his Meme (grandma) in there.

So close...can't wait to hear all about CSR!

I started gathering the maps for you. Will get the rest of the Disney ones this weekend. Now we just need to get Irene out of the area in time!!

Goofy has the day off tomorrow. He has to take the car to the garage in the morning. Then we are headed to Epcot after swimming lessons.

Anakin and I are packed. I have to pack for Goofy and Grumpy.

Grumpy starts his college course tomorrow, along with his high school courses. He is doing double time tonight so he isn't as stressed tomorrow. Anakin will have to do some school work tonight and the rest tomorrow evening. He worked ahead on Friday, so he shouldn't have too much to do tomorrow. He can do his reading and some of the DVD lectures in the car and do the seat work and writing at home.

He is making huge improvements. It's just too bad he can't remember some sight words. He has to sound out every word. He can remember the rules for sounding out special sounds, but he can't remember sight words. Funny how the brain works!

you just ask for the tink or simba or whatever shot. or you keep your eyes open for the photographer doing them with other families

Did online check in today! I am really thinking about buying the photopass DVD. We keep buying photos and forking out $20 here and there. Debating whether or not the $99 pre-order special would be a good splurge or not? It's $50 off the regular price. But we are only staying 3 nights. Decisions...decisions...

Going back to ADR making. Going to cancel most of the Sept and Oct ADRs I had made for those trips that have now been cancelled or changed.

i'm sure someone else mentioned this by now, but you get 30 days from the first picture to claim the pictures, and then 30 days from then for edits. and you can extend a week or two if you need to also. so you could essentially get quite a few day trips on your cd as well.

Thanks! I appreciate all information! I will be on the look out!

So you get 30 days from the date you claimed them, not the date they were taken? Does it remind you how many days you have left at each stage of the game?

We eat alot at Disney on dh's days off, so I've been taking the photopass with us the last few days, and stopping for pics. We went to the MK after the braces. Today we went to Epcot for lunch. We got pics today at the entrance, with Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, Donald, Minnie, Mickey. Mulan and Duffy.

Anakin was so scared of Mulan. I just couldn't understand why and he wouldn't talk about it. He put his hat on and tried to hide from her. He said I should get my pic taken. So I stood there, and explained to her that he was afraid of her. So she went over to him and started talking. They had a really great interaction!

After we left he admitted that she was really nice. I asked him what he was afaid of, and he said, "fire!!" Still not sure what he was talking about, but figured it must be either Mushu or one of her other ancestors from the movie??

That is the brain for you! Sight words are not sight words for some kids. He just has to come up with a way that works for him figuring out the words...I hope his teacher does not apply too much pressure on him over this. I was reading a great brain article about math facts the other day, it applies to reading too...it is not about "remembering" what the math fact answer is, it is all about find a strategy that works for you to remember it.

No need to pay back, just pay it forward for someone else!

Not sure how Irene will affect our plans this weekend. But I will mail you whatever I get this weekend. The rest of the Disney ones should be easy, just not sure with the weather if we will get to Sea World or Universal.

Lol, I am his teacher. He is homeschooled. Feel free to pm me anything you want to share about the article.

I thought you would like the comment about his teacher! I admire anyone that can teach their own children...I personally would kill my middle one if I had to teach him! He is so smart, but only wants to put in enough effort to slide by. My oldest, well she is self driven and I imposes way too high standards on herself! The youngest....UGH...smarter than the both of them put together but he is **** on wheels with a mouth that is never quiet. His teacher asked us to write a letter about him (who by the way had both his 2 older siblings) one the questions she wanted us to address was either he had difficulty speaking...I wrote in my letter it is not "difficulty in speaking, rather thant difficulty in stopping." I am praying for this teacher every day I drop him off!


This is how wrapped up in the beginning of the school year...did not know there was an Irene! Hoping she stays clear of your trip!

I bet you would be great at homeschooling. Just look at your movie nights!

Looks like Irene is staying clear of Florida!!

What kind of changes in menu are they doing at the Columbia House and Cosmic Rays?? I can deal with the Cosmic Ray changes, but I'm not adventurous enough to hit Columbia Harbour House's changes!!

Your trip is almost here!!! Have an amazing time, I will be thinking of you having tons of fun! I hope that the weather is great for you! Enjoy getting LOTS of pics on your photopass! GREAT memories!

Thanks!! I still need to pack for Grumpy and Goofy. Then we're ready!

I hope Grumpy can enjoy himself. He is stressed over this college course. He got to class on Monday to find out he didn't have all the books and materials he needed for it. Went to the book store Tues morning, and the book store was out of the books. He had to pre-order it. They said it should come in sometime this week. We might have to back track if it comes in later on Friday. He has assignments in those books for Monday night. YIKES!!

It was a whole new ball game for him. All his assignments, projects, papers have to be turned in electronically. Things have sure changed since I was in college! We didn't even have computers at school until my senior year when they added a computer room with 4 computers, lol!!

I cancelled the Biergarten resie. We ate there Monday for lunch, and I felt sooooo sick all day. I have no desire to go back for quite some time.

Ohhh...don't say that cause I was really looking forward to this one!

The last 2 times we ate there it wasn't quite up to par. But this last time, I was sick!! I think it was the salmon salad. We've eaten there a zillion times and always had great service, great food, and entertainment. I'd rate the 2nd last time as a mediocre experience and this last time upset my stomach so badly that I have no desire to go back there for a while.

We'll eat breakfast at the Captains Grille again instead!!
