Disney

Brian, Axel and I went to Disney World last week. It was a short trip-Sunday thru Wednesday-but we all had a blast! Axel did great on the plane. We lucked out and got an extra seat for Axel on 2 of the 3 planes we were on. (we had a lay over in Detroit on the way back) The flight from Detroit (at least it was only 1 hour long) was tricky but all the other ones Axel did great. He loved having his own seat and played the whole way there. I thought he would sleep but No way! By time we got to our hotel it was 1am and Axel was still wide awake!
We spent one day at Magic Kingdom and the other at Animal Kingdom. Axel had a blast on rides like It's a small world, Pirates of the Caribbean, a Buzz light year ride and he loved the Animal Safari. We got to see a parade each day. Axel thought the characters were cool but from a distance. He liked waving to them but once they came close he wasn't sure about them. Some of the characters are so big so I don't blame him on being a little cautious about them. He ended up liking Jimanie Cricket, Thumper and Goofy. He even kissed Goofy and the Jimanie Cricket! (I know I'm spelling his name wrong) But Axel's favorite was Donald Duck. He LOVES him now. He has been carrying around his stuffed Donald every day and can't stop giving him kisses! It's super cute. The last night in Disney I had to share my bed with Axel, Donald and the yellow ball that Axel won at the arcade in our hotel. There hotel had a crib but Axel didn't sleep well in it. It was short trip but it was very Magical! The weather was amazing and we come home just in time to miss the winter storm. I have a ton of pictures-I just need to get organized and then I'll post some.
On a side note Axel is officially done with the bottle!!! Finally...it's been 6 days and nights with out one! Way to go Axel!!!
