I love Turtle Talk! I hope my niece and nephew are brave enough to sit up front when we go.
Even though it is basically the same every time, it's still cute. Hearing the kids giggle and the parents outright laugh when Crush tells them to say
'Duuude' for the rest of the day makes me smile.
Just dropping in to share my disappointment in a classmate. This classmate response to Were you surprised by the children's responses? "Not at all I work with children all the time and nothing amaze me anymore."
I was shocked to read that. I can't imagine how a teacher could work with children everyday and not be amazed by anything they do. I'm not a teacher yet but being around my DBF's nephews and nieces, and seeing Brooklynn and Bella grow and discover new things as well as all young children - how could I not be amazed? I wanted to share this disappointment with my teacher friends (and others who are parents) because I really don't understand it.
I'll be back later tonight after I finish my discussion assignments
Children are amazing every day. I am glad you are able to stop and see the creativity and wonder in the little things that children do.
I hope you got to have some fun time on Sunday among your study time.
That picture of Bella & the seahorse is SO cute!
Your pictures remind me so much of the aquarium in Boston...only better.
She'll hug the characters that don't move. Maybe we should just tell the real characters to pretend they are statues.
The Bella & seahorse picture is the BEST!! How cute is she?!?!
She's a sweetie.
I guess you'll see what she looks like all covered up in a lei in a couple of weeks.
bella and the seahorse it way too cute! Caleb crashed on Nemo...must have found it either too boring or way too soothing. I am guessing the second one! LOL! I was really upset too because I had wanted to see Crush but they wouldn;t let us in with the stroller. Luckily we got to see it later in the week!
Yeah, our girls have had some naps on Nemo, too. The dark, the cool, and the quiet can do that pretty easily.
Owen LOVED it! And Hannah enjoyed it too. The Thomas ride was about 30 minutes plus they have lots of activities set up for the kids to do. Owen will turn 3 next month. We went last year as well. He loves (maybe obsessed is a better word?) Thomas, so he was a happy kid. I'll see if I can upload a couple of pictures. Wow, I didn't know Polar Express was that long...we were thinking about doing that in December, but if it is that long, we might wait a couple of years.
Edited to add pictures:
Thanks for sharing your fun day. We love to see our DIS kids in action! I think the Thomas activity has the right idea - short and sweet: enough time to have fun, but not too long to make for bored or cranky kids.
Bella is so cute hugging the seahorse goodbye! I love the Seas...such a fun place! Great picture of the girls with (in?) Bruce. I'm hoping to get a good shot of the kids to put in our Nemo bathroom (it's the kids bathroom).
I keep thinking I want to use a Nemo theme for my outside bulletin board and a little bit in my room this year.
Can't wait to see Seth on the Nemo ride. It's probably going to be one of the first stops we make on Saturday at EPCOT. Such a cute ride for the little ones! I don't know if we'll do Turtle Talk or not - depends on how the line is. He is too young to really understand the concept, but we will see. I'll definitely let him look at all the fish and other sea life, though! There's so many things in this trip I'm looking forward to b/c I'll be seeing them from a whole new view this time!
Loved the picture of Bella hugging the seahorse.
You'll have to
go with the flooooooow on your next few trips, for sure.
I think a DIStown cookbook is a good idea.
This summer I'm taking Nutrition and Health for young Children and Creative Activities for young children. Oh and I don't remember if I told you but I will be finishing this degree in January.
cracking up at their dreams
aww Brooklynn, that is so cute.
Lol, Bella is really trying to get away from Mickey. Tell her not to worry though, her friend ChiChi/Cheena use to be scared of the characters too.
I love all the pictures of Bella's "interaction" with the characters and high 5 for Brooklynn being a patient big sister.
Congrats Tink9721 on being a high school graduate.
seeing the birds outside Nemo i can't help but say "mine, mine, mine"
We'll have to talk about that DIStown cookbook one of these days when we have time.
We could all submit 2-3 of our favorite recipes. All we'd need is someone to type them up and put on a spiral. They'd be booklets more than books, but it would still be something that could sort of bring us all together in a fun way.
Bella is at the seagull stage right now. She says,
'Mine, mine, mine!' a lot.
Those sound like fun classes. Good luck with your studies
********************************************
I'll be thinking Disney thoughts from a workshop all day today. They don't like us to forget that we are teachers during the summer break, too. Luckily, we just have to do a few. In the past few days, I have also learned that the Director of Schools wants to start on July 25th next year. That means teachers would be back the week before that. Not real thrilled with that, but we're planning our Disney trip for June, just in case that does go through.
I did do a little trip shopping yesterday, so I have added a pack of socks, some snacks, and some odds & ends to my rolled up t-shirts in the suitcase now.
Have a Magnificent Monday, DIS friends!
, that is so cute.
