We just booked our next Disney World vacation, and I dusted off this blog to review our experience from last time. Since it was so close to the three year mark of my last post, I couldn't resist throwing this up here on the anniversary.
And since it was fun to go back and read what I used to write, I think I'll get back to occasional posting. I'm going to go ahead and apologize to 2025 Reagan for the short shrift given to her years two through four. When she has a second child of her own (no sooner than age 30), she will understand how less documentation/photographs of that child in no way means the second-born is loved or cherished any less than the first.
Anywaaaaaayyyy . . . the past three years have gone well for us and the girls. Amanda is in 2nd grade, and whats-her-name is in 4 year-old preschool with the same teachers that Amanda had. They are both still young enough to enjoy school and not groan at the thought of returning to it every Monday. They also both still believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, but Amanda has called bullshit on the Easter Bunny and has expressed skepticism about the others. We don't expect the other two to survive the year for her, but we hope she will keep the truth from Reagan for a while longer.
In addition to school, the girls are also doing some other activities. For the longest time, Reagan had to just be schlepped along to Amanda's various activities, but she is finally old enough to participate in her own right. Specifically, she played soccer in the fall and has just started a Tiny Tots tennis clinic. Both girls are also cheerleading, which is really cute. Amanda also played soccer in the fall and will return to softball in the spring. She is also in a tennis clinic and takes individual lessons, as well. It's too soon to tell whether either of them will be talented enough to allow us to become (even more) insufferable parents, but our fingers are crossed!
That pretty much sums up the last three years. Our Disney trip is booked for May 30th to June 6th, so if you're going to rob our house, that would be the time. We haven't told the girls about the trip yet, but since we had talked in general terms about going to Disney in the fall, the earlier dates should delight them, We'll probably spring the news on them a couple of months down the road so they have at least some time to anticipate it.
