Disneyland and Disney Studios Paris was GREAT! P had a GREAT time (that's all that counts). Since our tickets allowed us to get into both parks all 4 days, I let P make the decisions as to when we went to the parks. With P making the decisions...we went to the parks a total of 9 times and the Hard Rock Cafe twice.
Breakfast with the characters Friday morning went better than expected. When we arrived, Mickey, Goofy, and Baloo were already walking around. P quickly retrieved her Disneyland Autograph Book from the bag, and went off in search of autographs (what's up with the Disney Character Autographs...who started it and why??).
We have gone to the park every year for the last 3 years, but this is the first time that we've spent more than a day there. Each day was a mini adventure.
I tried to convince P that we should take the train into Paris to see the 'Apple' Tower. But she wasn't having it. She said that she has seen it 'lots of times' and didn't need to see it again.

During our train ride to Paris, we had another one of our 'conversations':
P: I can spell Baby Bop's name.
Me: You can? Can you spell it for me?
P: B-a-b-y B-o-p
Me: That's very good, who taught you how to spell that?
P: Nobody. Can you help me spell Baby Bop's brother's name?
Me: Sure, what's his name?
P: BJ
Me: Hmmm.....
I almost told her how she was once so advanced that she crawled at 4 months, said her first real word at 6 months (it was baby~AND she knew what it was), and walked at 8 months, but now I think she's starting to 'level off'~which I think is better than her 'leveling off' at 16 years old and STILL in the 8th grade. But I'll save the speech for another day.
