Kid's love pizza. We had pizza the night we arrived and leftovers for lunch the next day. I asked Cindy what she wanted to do for dinner and Lily responded, 'pizza'.
Peace at the restaurant. We went out for a multiple course meal with a 7 month old & a 2 1/2 year old, and had little to no problems. That's pretty impressive. There was a time when even short meals felt like walking through a minefield.
There's no place like home. We hadn't even slept a night or been there more than a couple hours, and Lily had associated the hotel room with home. She independently recognized the area by the refrigerator as the 'kitchen'. This prompted us to ask some questions, and have her identify where the 'bedroom' and 'living room' were, to which she pointed to the logical places - bed & chairs, respectively.
I'm kind of evil. We we walking through the children's area, which is typically safe, except for the random bucket of water that pours down. Of course one fell right on Lily's head. It was harmless, but she was shocked and let it be known. I picked her up to comfort and also to better hide my laughter.
Lily likes the 'little slide'. The 'big one' was too much, during the one trip down. She wouldn't go near it again. Even the 'lazy river' was fraught with too many waterfalls and places to get wet. We spent a lot of time on the 'little slide'. I'm glad she's not a daredevil, even if that would have made for a more interactive experience for dad.
Costumed characters are freakish. She had taken the same path up to the 'little' water slide about 100 times, leaving me to wait for her at the bottom. Then the Lifeguard pointed to signal something was happening. A costumed character was coming up the other way, so my terrified daughter made a u-turn and was in full flight retreat. She squealed then and every time after, when she saw the large Woody Woodpecker type character coming her way.
New teeth can ruin the fun. Nate had his moments, but pain from teething caused some distraction. He spent a lot of time napping. It's fine though, because he won't be lacking for action in the years to come.
