We just got back from a quick trip to Disneyland. It was a lot of fun, but exhausting. We were really looking forward to having the boys meet Mickey Mouse for the first time. It went as expected....Micah LOVED Mickey, and Jacob cried.


They had a lot of fun on what rides we took them on. Amazingly, Jacob didn't scream at the barracudas coming for us on the Nemo Submarine ride, or at the darkness on Pirates of the Caribbean. We look forward to going again, but I definitely think that 8 pm is just too late to leave for Los Angeles! The boys were tired and very cranky the next day whenever we would wait in line for the rides. The temperature was in the 80's, and it was more crowded than I expected for a February day at Disney. We got there at opening time and still had to wait 20 minutes for the Nemo submarine ride. I was so sad that It's a Small World STILL wasn't open. They plan to open it this weekend--figures! We have so much fun getting our hotel rooms through Priceline! We stayed at the Hyatt Regency for just $60/night. It was awesome. And, I called ahead to let them know of our late arrival and that we'd need two cribs delivered to the room, and when we got there, the cribs were there and all set up. How nice that was, especially since we didn't get to the room until after midnight. We've called ahead to other hotels before, and only on one other occasion were the cribs set up before we got there. It is so frustrating to arrive after a long day of traveling to have to wait 20 minutes longer, while the babies are getting wound up, to have the cribs delivered.

In other news, Micah has mastered climbing out of his crib and we have been trying to figure out what to do from here, as our older children never did this. Jacob has a black eye from jumping on the sofa with Micah, but neither of them learned a lesson from this. Micah sounds like he is trying to say "hi" and "up" now. Maybe he'll catch up with Jacob soon. Jacob is trying to put together sentences now. I think their appetites may finally be returning after about 4 weeks of having poor appetites. Tonight for dinner, they each ate two full pieces of French toast made with Texas toast. Wow!
