Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggity Dog! LINK TO TRIP REPORT!!!

[tinacaplan]

Hi! So, again, thanks for all the support you've thrown my way recently.

Had a rather interesting (I suppose that's the word for it. Perhaps not.) afternoon. It was my best friend's son's first bithday party. There was a seven or eight year-old boy there who was very pushy and not being nice to the pre-school aged kids that were in attendance. Max has also not been feeling great, think it has a lot to do with his adenoids, which are unusually large, as we learned this week. (This involves an upcoming trip to an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor to see if he will need his tonsils and adenoids removed...apparently, enlarged adenoids can create all sorts of yucky infections.)

Long story short, the older boy ended up punching Max! I was watching and it was completely unprovoked. Max was coming down a small indoor slide that this kid (who was way too old to be playing on something like this anyway) was trying to climb up. This kid actually made a closed fist and punched my son. In my full view! You have got to be kidding. Max cried and was, I think, more confused by it than anything else. The kid just laughed and thought the whole thing was very amusing. His parents, needless to say, were nowhere to be found. I happen to know them casually and they aren't the nicest people, so I try and steer clear when I see them at these things. Thankfully, they are friends of my best friend's husband, so DBF doesn't like them much, either. In fact, my best friend's father referred to the child as a monster on our way out.

Because I knew my boy was not feeling all that well to begin with, we left about an hour into the party and long before cake was cut. Max was pretty upset about this, but I wasn't sure what else to do. We left without saying anything to the parents.

How would any of you with kids handle a situation like this? I have to say, it hasn't come up yet,as Max plays mostly with kids closer to his own age who might do physical things, but aren't so clear on right and wrong. Was there anything I could have or should have said to the parents?

That is awful! Clearly that little boy has issues, usually when children that age are bullies it is usually because they have witnessed those behaviors or someone is bullying them.

I commend you for being calm and taking Max home. I may not have been as calm especially if I witnessed the whole thing. I think in that situation I would have sought out the parents and explained what their son did. The boy needs to understand that he can not go around hitting people. If I was not comfortable talking to the parents I would have probably talked to DBF's husband since he has a relationship with the parents.

I am so sorry for both you and Max. That is not an easy thing to deal with. I am not sure if there is one right way to do it. I think you did right by you and your son by doing what you were comfortable doing. Sometimes...removing yourself from a hard situation is the best.

to you both

Tina, that is U N B E L I E V A B L E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Standing ovations to you for just walking out! I don't know if I could have kept my mouth shut!
I am still in utter disbelief!!!

 

[tinacaplan]

First of all, for anyone who is wondering... my dad came out of the surgical procedure to remove the defibrillator just fine. He's still in the hospital and is pretty sick, so we're not out of the woods, yet... but the worst is (hopefully) behind us. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers.

And then we got the storm of the century...of the week. At least, that's the joke my husband always makes about the tendency of local weatherpeople to get everyone worked into a frenzy over storms. This time, though, they were somewhat accurate. We've gotten around two feet of snow to add to the several inches we already had on the ground. Its a mess... a snow-pocalypse. OK, now I'm just stealing everyone's jokes.

Anyway, one of the best things about living in an area of the country where we get a lot of snow but aren't always great at dealing with it are the snow days! We had one today and we're having another one tomorrow! Ah, the joy of being a teacher. And the break could not be coming at a better time. Tomorrow (hopefully) Max will spend some time at daycare and I can do a little pampering for myself and take a sec to get my nails done! Again, I kind of feel like I won the lottery...twice!

This will also leave me plenty of time for the Dis! I wish I had more to report, but I suppose I can finish my updated daily plans.

 

[tinacaplan]

Also, a few shots of Max sleeping in his car bed. He hasn't quite gotten the hang of sleeping under anything, but...

 

[eandesmom]

He is SO cute in his bed!

I think each situation is different and you have to decide what to do on a case by case basis. Based on what you describe it doesn't sound like it would have been all that helpful. That said I would actually let my friend know, after the fact, why I left early so she could factor it in to future party invites (or not).

one of the few people happy about all the snow! Enjoy your days off and I'm glad to hear you dad made it through phase 1 ok.

 

[annmarieda]

Awe...so cute when they sleep, aren't they?!?

I wondered if you were hit by the bad snow... glad you are making the most of it.

We were suppose to get a ton, but it really didn't turn out that way. I don't think they ever get our forecast right

 

[dizneeat]

Hi Tina!

Hope you are home, safe and warm and pampered, enjoying your snow day! I am sitting here at school, (brought my own little laptop) during one of my times off. It is raining cats and dogs and no FUN!!

How cute is little Max, sleeping in his big boy bed, all his cars by his side! I cannot wait to meet the little man himself in just a little over 5 weeks. Only 37 days to go, Tina!

Thanks, Cynthia. I absolutely let my friend know, in fact, I let her know at the party. Her dad was the one supervising the "kid room" and even he knew the real reason we were leaving! Interesting that this is the first such event I saw these parents bring their children.

I think I'm only happy about the snow because snow removal is not one of my jobs around here. OK, that and the time off! Its also allowing me time to today to go up the hospital to see my dad.

Yes, they are! And, were we ever hit! Some area towns saw more snow than they have in a hundred years! Its funny you say that about your forecast not being right...they had predicted a similarly large storm for us last year and called off school before it started and then it never came!

Thanks, Karin! I'm actually going to head up to the hospital to see my dad later on and I will hopefully get to go and have my nails done. Somewhere in there, I'm hoping to get some school work done, but its not looking too promising today.

Max does look pretty cute in his bed. He's into lining things up, like his cars. Don't know why. And I know...its getting SO close. I can hardly believe it. That deserves at least one dancing banana.

Sorry about the lousy rain. I have to admit I wouldn't mind seeing some here in a week or so to wash away some some of this snow! But winter rain is just so cold. Stay dry!

 

[that's nice]

Congrats on another day off!!!!!! Juliana was crying this morning when her school was canceled. She has only been 1 day since before Christmas.

Max looks cute sleeping in his bed! I wish I had that bed for myself!

Oh...that makes me feel really bad! I assume Juliana is in preschool, not kindergarten, right? Its crazy...Max's daycare center/preschool was closed yesterday and doesn't open until ten today and my husband and I are just shaking our heads, wondering what parents who don't get snow days do? I had assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the only reason my husband I were off was because we teach in big districts (he's in Bridgeport, I teach in New Haven) that couldn't clear the streets and clean off all those busses...but I guess not. I'm about to go and brave the elements myself in a bit to head up to the hospital in Hartford to see my dad. We'll see how it is!

 

[KatMark]

How precious are the pictures of Max sleeping in his new bed--I love it.

Snow days...I wish our office would have snow days! But we've been very fortunate with the weather thus far and haven't had any major storms...just a couple of inches here and there.

I'm glad to hear your dad came through the procedure okay and prayers continue that he feels better soon.

 

[tinacaplan]

Last February, I had planned on doing a day and a half at AK. The first half was evening EMHs. I did not realize how little there was to do at AK during evening EMHs. For example, we missed the last safari. Kali River Rapids was closed, plus it was too cold for it, really. And, for some reason which remains unknown to me, I decided that the first thing we should do upon arrival, before EMHs had even started, was ride EE. Somehow, I had managed to convince my otherwise rollercoaster-averse husband to ride EE, so that was where we headed. It was a grey sort of day and we were not in a great mood ourselves. I don't remember what we had done earlier in the day, either.

Anyway, we waited in line for EE for about an hour and a half. Longer than we waited for any other ride that whole trip, including Soarin' and TSM. Don't ask me what I was thinking. I had committed certain touring "tips" about the other parks to memory, but nothing about AK. I loved the ride, but sheesh... not the most auspicious start to our time at AK.

We then wandered around, got some egg rolls at Yak and Yeti CS (really fantastic use of a snack credit, btw), and wandered some more. Mostly, my husband just didn't like the look of the place. I see people's pictures now and I wonder what we could have been thinking. Everything is just so detailed... Hmmm... We saw Its Tough to Be a Bug, which we enjoyed, and I think that was about it. We never made it back for our "full day." Don't remember why.

Point being, I'm actually super excited about going to AK this time. I've picked up a ton of great pointers from other people's TRs and I think Max is going to love it. My mom will also be with us, this day.

We're starting out day with an 8 a.m. ADR at Tusker House. I'm kind of excited to meet Daisy! I love her work on the Mickey Mouse Clubhous e. Then, its off to our safari! I want to do Rafiki's Animal Watch, because I think Max will like the train and the petting zoo. After that, we'll head to Dinoland so Max can do some digging. At some point, I'm hoping to catch Its Tough to Be a Bug and The Festival of the Lion King. Ridemax actually has all of this fairly well planned out for us, so it should be doable. We'll probably grab a quick CS lunch somewhere here (Flametree, perhaps?). It will be nice to have my mom to split a lunch with, as I doubt I'll be up for eating much after breakfast. I'm also hoping that I can sneak away and get to EE for a solo ride!

We'll then head back to CSR to relax, maybe swim, before heading out to EPCOT and our ADR at Biergarten.

Yes, Juliana is in pre-school. She goes 3 days a week and she can't wait for Kindergarten in September!

I have no idea what parents do when their daycare shuts down? Seems like a tough situation to be in.

I am from Waterbury and I went yesterday to my parents house to help shovel out my mom. They plowed about 5-8feet away from the curb. Some main roads were 1 lane. It was a mess.

I'm glad to hear your dad is dong well.

I couldn't believe how high the snow was when I finally went out today! Crazy. Its up to my hips. Not that I'm tall, I'm not, but still...that's a lot of snow for us! And it is true about the roads. Everything is just so narrow.

And thanks for the well wishes for my dad. We're hoping he'll be home by the weekend, but how knows? I think my mom is a little nervous about him coming home too soon. I'm betting on early next week, what do I know?

 

[chunkymonkey]

Just wanted to stop by and catch up on your PTR. I'm so glad to hear that your dad is doing ok and that the procedure went well. Will be in my thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.

I was so shocked when I read that some kid punched Max! That's horrible. I can just imagine if and when I have a child, the pain you must have been in when that happened. I really get angry at kids like that, and especially parents who just don't seem to be involved or even notice how bully-ish their children can get. I'm so sorry that Max had to leave the party early. If it was me, well, I don't have any kids so I can probably tell you what I "think" I would have done, I would have approached the parents of the kid that punched max and let them know, politely, that their son had hit max and regardless of the situation hitting is not a nice thing and that they should be aware of it. I know it's gotta be hard, I am so non comfrontational myself, but I know you are doing what is best for Max in the long run. Hope everything gets better going forward if you are ever in a situation like this.

Yes the snow!!! We got so much during Christmas weekend and then this past week too. We weren't affected too much. I took the day off on the monday after the x-mas blizzard, but that was it. It was mostly because the snow wasn't plowed which made walking to the trains and subways hard. The trains were still running fine.

YAY you are so close to your trip!! I'm so excited for you!!

 

[annmarieda]

I was about to write that AK is one of my favorite parks...but then I thought...and so is Epcot and Mk and... you get the point.

I do love it though. I love animals. It is because of AK and the food on WDW that I go all the way across the country instead of just going to DL. Ridemax makes fitting everything together so easy. Are you planning to do a TS there? I know there are not a ton of choices..but if you were going to do Tusker I would highly recommend the Nemo Package. Those were THE ABSOLUTE best seats EVER for that show. The Finding Nemo Musical is probably my favorite shows in all of the parks. (maybe second only the to Aladdin show that was at DL for a while..and then only maybe) Another tip that I am going to try and use myself for next trip... there are characters near FOTLK and I have never stopped to get pics with them. I think that is a spot easy to miss...so if you do FOTLK...when you come out, I think they are right in that area.

Very cool that your trip is getting close!!!

there is a lot to do at evening EMH but you do have to plan it as there is equally as much closed. EE in the dark though....

That is my FAVORITE snack credit in all of the world! Only thing I might mention is Rafiki's is a big time investment and while cool in it's own way...the petting zoo isn't anything different than what you might find at your own zoo. If it's just the petting zoo that's the attraction I might double think it. The whole thing took a lot more time than we'd expected.

 

[Mindy5767]

Hi Tina,

You know.... I think that Animal Kingdom is under-appreciated my alot of people. We just love it and we could spend just about a full day there. I think Dinoland is alot of fun. I like the Dinosaur ride which used to be called Expedition to Extinction. I also some day hope to get onto Primeval Whirl. Last trip, DD8 was not quite tall enough and my sister though 30 min wait was too long to bother with rider switch... so we skipped it! We have been known to do Kali during EMH over and over. At the end of the day when there is no line and it is a bit chilly, they'll let you just keep riding without getting off. We then shiver our way back to the bus with blue lips. We have to save this gem for last obviously and we end soaked!

I love the gift shops in AK. Its the only place at Disney where you can get uniquely crafted items like the beaded animals made in Africa. I collect them. My DD8 loves Rafiki's planet watch. There is so much to see. We also prefer the AK location for Rainforest Cafe.

I would never ride EE.... I'm not a coaster person.... well...., let's say I'm not a big drop person. I am not too worried about Primeval Whirl because it doesn't have the big drops.

Have fun there... you will love it.. and don't forget to have a Yak Attack at the Yak & Yeti quick serve drink window. YUM!!! RUM!!
