Chef Mickey

A friend of mine (Amy Sewell) had just talked to someone who had just visited Disney and mentioned really enjoying character meals.  It was fortunately in just enough time for us to book breakfast with Chef Mickey.  We were staying in Orlando for a week, knew we would just go to Magic Kingdom for one day but still wanted a little more Disney fun.  This character breakfast at the Contemporary Resort gave us that opportunity without buying admission to a park (with free parking to boot!). 

It was so worth the overpriced buffet.  I don't even want to think about the amount of effort it would have taken to track these guys down in Magic Kingdom.  The girls (admittedly I as well) had a ball as the characters made their way to our table.  I even got a little Mickey Love!  Isabella came home and as we were showing Tim the pictures asked if he was mad at Mickey for hugging mommy. 

My advice (for whatever it's worth) on Character meals:

1.  Go while your youngest is under 3, they eat free!!
2.  Just take one adult!  It was priced OK for just Isabella and I, but if Tim would have gone I am not so sure it would have been worth it.  The food is average at best. 
3.  Take a coloring notebook.  The kid next to us got two drawings from the characters just for having crayons at his table. 
4.  Book as soon as you make your reservations. 
5.  Take advantage of those that are outside of the parks so that you're not wasting valuable park time eating a sit down meal. 

Muffins with Mom & Timmy's Four Months

 

Isabella & Abigail's class celebrated Mother's day to day.  Since there were two celebrations in two different classes we decided to spend most of it in Isabella's class.  I love their teachers, they know just how to melt our hearts.  Isabella's class serenaded us moms with "You are my sunshine" and presented us with custom painted canvases. 

Isabella thought that I had left her class to be with Abigail's class, but when she found out I was still in the room her face lit up as she presented me with her gift.  She really has taken well to my need to divide time between everyone, a sign that she's maturing. 

 

Here we are in Abigail's class.   She's such a big girl now, it's scary.

Timmy is now 4 months old.  At his check-up he measured 24.75 inches long and weighs 14.5 oz.  His head, weight & height all between 40-41%.  He did slow his weight gain from 68% but went up in height. As for milestones, over the past few monthss he's started picking up things.  He is such a happy baby boy always smiling, laughing, and bouncing.

Please ignore the little episode at the end.  My boy is quite the spitter. :)
