So, here is my latest little hiccup:
DD comes home yesterday with two flyers and an invitation. One flyer is for the school sponsored "Boo Party" - the Halloween party thrown by the PTA. The second flyer is from her teacher announcing their classroom party and all the fun things they have planned. And, the kicker, an invitation for a Halloween party thrown by the twins next door (the girl is her age and they are good friends).
DD is now upset she is going to miss everything. I've told her about the DIS TOT and the
DCL TOT and the pirate treasure hunt, our sea turtle/dolphin excursion, our stay at Animal Kingdom and visit to MK, etc., etc. She is still depressed.
DH says ignore her. She's 9. That she will be fine when we are actually on our way. That the concept of time is elusive to her and October 28th (when we leave) seems very far away.
I hope she cheers up soon. I'm telling you, I never thought it would be my kid who would suck the fun out of a WDW/DCL vacation for me!
