I have completely given up on pictures, I will wait until I am at my sisters house in 2 weeks to upload, she has high speed. I'm so jealous.

I had left off with Reese bringing home what she thought was a broken child care baby.

The baby was programmed to wreak havoc starting at 6:00pm on Friday and continuing to haunt us until 6:00am Monday morning.

Reese studied the baby she practiced putting on and taking off the diaper and clothes, she decided it would be easier to take care of him if he were naked, I argued this, it's supposed to be like a real life experience, part of real life is wearing clothes, she met me half way on this and kept his sleeper on half way allowing his little diaper bottom to be exposed at all times.

Reese also studied the care packet that came with it, it was a good thing Kent took her back to the school to get it, apparently you can't wing it like she had intended to do, everything had to be journaled, Reese wondered out loud why the teacher gave her 4 pages of journal, she thought she wouldn't need it.

She started out the evening by filling out the baby's birth certificate. She named the poor baby PACO DEL TACO, I told her that was a horrible name, she said it could have been worse as she was thinking about PABLO DIABLO as another choice, so I let it go.

6pm rolls around and we are all starring at the baby waiting for his electronic life to begin, then he cooed, Reese and I together cooed back, "Aaaawwwww" Then the Paco starts to wimper and within seconds he is in full on crying mode, Reese panics "He's not accepting my scan, my bracelet is on backwards cut it off." I ran and got the scissors from the kitchen, she scans him, he makes a wierd beeping noise, pauses for a monent then continues to scream, so she scans the diaper and changes him, he keeps screaming, so she scans the bottle and starts feeding him, he made loud gulping breathing swallowing noises for about 20 minutes before he started to cry again, she figured out how to burp him, once he belched out a loud one that any mother would be proud of he went to sleep. Reese said "this mothering thing is easy." I pointed out to her that with a real baby you actually have to wipe and clean dirty bum when chaning a diaper and bottles need to be measured and heated. Paco had all the makings of a real baby, he had the cry down perfect and he always seemed to cry at the worst times, just like a real baby, but too many steps are left out in order for you to get the full effect.

Some of the things she had to do while caring for the baby was run an errand, so Reese packed Paco into the car seat and we were off to Rutters for an energy drink, Reese thought it might help keep her awake during the midnight feedings. While on this little road trip Reese got to experience what it was like to change a baby's diaper in the back seat of a car, I had to pull off the side of the road so she could do this.

Back home again Paco was feeding every couple hours and Reese was getting mad, she didn't want Paco to get fat. She seemed to be doing great, she didn't want any help from anybody

See how well she was doing? Well if photobucket would have allowed me to load the picture I wanted it shows a whole new story. by 3:00am Reese was draped over the side of the crib, no longer picking Paco up for his feedings but trying to sleep while holding the bottle to his mouth. I ended up taking the 5am and 7am feedings, I gave Paco back to Marrisa at 9am so I could get ready for work. Reese took Paco shopping with her that day and to the neighborhood bar-b-que. That night was the same as before, Paco waking up about every 2 hours, only Reese refused any help, she did it all on her own.

Sunday morning she enlisted the help of her brother, Jim baby sat while Reese got a shower, that was a sight to see, he did everything except change the diaper, I had to do that.

By dinner time Sunday night Paco was a crying mess, this teacher programmed him to really sock it to Reese. For almost 4 hours he just fussed, we sat down to dinner thinking he was finally going to cool his jets but the second Reese picked up her fork, Paco would wimper, he was doing the "I just need attention" thing that most babies do so well, Reese who was tired of having to constantly get up threw the scanner at him hoping it would land in just the right spot, but it didn't, I ended up holding Paco through dinner, he has a sensor that picks up when he is being rocked, you could hear it clicking. Finally he fell asleep.

In the middle of the night I woke up to hear Reese crying, "What do you want? just tell me, I have changed you, fed you, burped you, what do you want? Please go to sleep, I have school in 3 hours. God please if you just make him sleep I promise I'll be good, I'll become a nun."
That's when I knew this experiment was a success, Reese had discovered what's it like to be a new mom, she was trying to reason with a newborn while making deals with God. What new mother hasn't done that? I was just grateful that this was only an experiment, Reese was able to give the baby back to the teacher on Monday. However she has told me now that I am going to have to settle for a grand puppy as she is never having kids. I wouldn't mind that so much except you can't take a puppy to Disney.

I am so glad that I never had to do anything like that in high school. Sounds amusing to watch though.

I just realized that I have officially been back from WDW for two weeks and hadn't checked in!
I think I am all caught up now though.
I too, thought your husband seemed sweet for indulging your Disneyness even though he doesn't understand and not at all grumpy!
Loved the grandbaby story! Those dolls should be mandatory for every kid, everywhere. And all programmed for the worst case baby scenario!

I never had to do that, but I did have the egg baby. I named mine eggward! he didn't make it though, I forgot I had laid him down in my pom-poms and when I grabbed for them, SPLAT!

Welcome back from your trip, how was it? I so can't wait to go.
Yeah, hubby is sweet and getting sweeter, he keeps telling me not to worry about the trip every time I get frantic about finances, He says. "Now worries, you'll go!"
I am so glad Reese got the chance to do that, but I honestly think they should start the program in JR High, and then repeat it again in high school. Aside from a cranky baby and getting no sleep, Reeses social life suffered and that was the it factor for her.

I leave for Michigan a week from today. Mom and I are going to work on our Disney plans and come up with a touring plan that we think will work for everyone. so far I have come up with what days we'll go to which park. I went off the crowd calender and hopefully it being marathon weekend we won't run into too many crowds.

We get in on a Friday and leave on a friday, hopefully we can get in early, it will be easier for me I am a short 1 1/2 hour flight (if even) from Orlando, Marz is even closer in NC, but mom and J have to fly from Detroit, so I figure Marz and I can meet at the airport in Orlando and have time to get caught up while waiting for Mom and J's flight to get in. I have spent way too much time trying to figure out how we are going to work it out that we all can take ME together, but then again if Mom and J don't make it into Orlando until after noon I really don't want to waste major time at the airport, I could go back to POP and have us all checked in.
Does anybody know if Magical express will let us split the trip? OR do we all have to be there for ME together because of paper work?

Here is my intinerary so far (I'm kinda all over the map right now, I haven't been able to think a single thing through.)

Fri- Magic Kingdom, liberty Tree for TS, Pecos bill for CS
Sat- Hollywood Studios, Sci-fi for TS, Toy story Pizza planet for CS
Sun- Epcot, Coral Reef for TS, Sommerfest for CS
Mon- Hollywood Studios, 50's PrimeTime for TS, ? for CS (probably Pizza Planet again)
Tue- Magic Kingdom, Crystal Palace, don't know if it's breakfast or lunch yet, Cosmic Ray for CS
Wed- Animal Kingdom, we will use a CS at Flame Tree barbque, and our TS at Planet Hollywood in DTD.
Thurs- Epcot, Princess storybook breakfast for TS and Electric Umbrella for CS
Fri- is wide open, I am thinking we will probably go to MK or AK, it doesn't matter to me. I guess it also depends on our departure time.

So that is the plan as of now.

Out of the group I am the only one who likes rollercoasters, so I am sure we will get a lot done by not having to wait in lines for thrill rides. I am hoping that they will at least ride TOT at HS, I'm working on them. I almost have my mom convinced that she can't miss this ride.

None of us can handle fast flying circle rides, so the teacups will not see us, Dumbo might, I have never gone on Dumbo, always wanted to though, we'll see.

Oh I forgot to mention, my Aunt Mikki lives in Ft. Pierce FL. so she plans to come visit us for a day, I think she plans to come on the first Epcot day. That will be awesome!

I lived for a year with my Aunt Judy in Coco Beach Fl. I would sometimes go to Ft. Pierce to visit my Aunt Mikki, she took me to Epcot, I was 16, Capt Eao sp? was the 3-D attraction back then, Michael Jackson, that's all I remember, that was way back when he still had a nose. HISTA replaced it.(the attraction, not the nose) I couldn't believe when I finally got to go back in 2006 how much everything had changed.


It's funny how things change while staying the same. My first trip to WDW in 2006 was so full of Magic and was just great, my second trip, even though nothing had changed at WDW, just seemed different. It was still magical, but different, I just wonder how this 3rd trip is going to be? I guess WDW stays the same but the situation changes, like travel mates and what not, thus making WDW feel changed in some way.

If any of you get bored and would like to read my very first TR from my very first visit to the world I will put the link below, I went back and read it this past week and it's wierd that the feeling I had FOR Disney back then is different now, I mean it's definitely more hardcore now, but back then I was such a newbie, I sent a copy of the TR to my mom and she said my excitement in that TR was contagous and she couldn't wait to go. I still am excited for Disney, just now my excitment is for the known, where as before it was an excitment about the unexpected and unknown.

THREE DECADES OF WAITING

I have read about groups arriving at MCO at different times being able to take the ME separately. I think all you have to do is explain to the ME CM's and they do some kind of computer magic.

 

[disneyaddicted]

Computer Magic? I want some of that!

Thank you Lessa.

oh man the baby experiment was a success huh? That's great. I LOL'd when I read she was leaning over the crib feeding the baby. Sounds like something I would do! Really sounds like that baby gave y'all a run for your money at the end there. Making deals with God and everything I hope she got an "A" on the project because it sounds like she did a great job!

 

[Leger13]

Your itinerary sounds great! All your restaurant choices mimic mine. Love all of those places! That stinks that no one will go on the thrill rides with you. I hope you can at least get your Mom on that one. I got my Mom on ToT and she still talks about it And you're right how WDW can feel new even if you do go every year but with different ppl each time. The different ppl make the experience new all over again and that's great!

Yup! She got an A.

I would love for someone to go on thrill rides with me, Mom used to love thrill rides but since she had back surgery 2 years ago for a slipped disk, she takes it easy, can't blame her there, but I told her TOT doesn't jerk you from side to side, it's a smooth bounce the carp out of you ride. So she might try it. Marz get's sick on coasters, and the thing is, if I asked her to go on it with me she would, even if it meant her feeling sick the rest of the day. So of course I won't ask her to do that.

The way I see it is we will have more time for shows, I never saw the Lion King, or finding Nemo show at AK, and I missed out on Beauty and the Beast and Fantasmic at HS, we always chose rides over shows, now we can be free for shows.

I am so glad the baby thing worked out for you. It's good that she will be waiting for the real thing to happen. You could have possibly taken the computer baby to Disney. Wouldn't that be fun????? I remember a time you were thinking about doing something like that. Hey, are you taking the alien this time???

So you are coming to Michigan? Do you get to go to Frankenmuth again? I really need to get up to those outlets. They are the best.
