We took our kid to Disneyworld to hang out with princesses.
(And to spend time with each other and my family and blah blah blah tender moments brought to you by Disney.)
You know that smile your kid gets where they are so happy that even their spleen is smiling? The one that lights up their face but almost never makes it on camera because it’s so rare and fleeting? A smile that you as a parent can look at, knowing your child, and say “Yes. Nothing could make them happier at this very moment.”
the moosh had that smile on her face a majority of our trip. It was magical. She had the undivided attenion of five people who love her most in this world. Plus princesses and white sandy beaches.
THIS is my kid smiling with her spleen.

Oh I’m so incredibly jealous! That looks like such a great time, and I love all things Disney. How great to have these memories with your family and the moosh!

As long as we’re speaking Disney, it reminds me of the end of Toy Story 2, after the credits. The chipper charlie Barbie asks after she’s done “buh bye”-ing everyone, “Are we done yet? Yes? Oh good, cause my cheeks are KILLING ME!” Though now I think it might have been funnier if she had said “My spleen is KILLING ME!” 🙂

Your moosh is gorgeous gorgeous (which you already know). But the smiles? Ah, so wonderful. My favorite photo from your trip so far is the hotel bed jumping one from a few days ago. Priceless.
Something great happened to us while you were gone: we had a fantastic 4 day reunion with old friends and got to meet all of their children for the first time. My Son immediately adored a 6 yr old French Canadian girl who immediately adored him back, and I got to spend several days watching them run at top speed down 100 foot straightaways in a converted barn (house) where 18 of us were staying — laughing, and speaking hardly a word of each other’s languages, the two of them got along famously. It was delicious.
I’m so glad you had such a glorious time with your family. Sending hugs.
