Well, we are back from our 11 days in Disney World -- what a great time we had!!
I thought I'd provide a brief update on how our craft projects worked out.
1) Disney Activity Book for Plane
On the way down to Disney, DD looked through book for about 5-10 minutes and then was done. All that time and effort...wasted....
BUT
on the plane ride back, she just wanted to page through it and she really loved the games (lift the flaps) and the sticker fun pages. She did all but 3 of the stickers. Yeah -- all that time and effort...good...
THEN
today, we had a babysitter for DD while I had a doc appt...when I got back, all DD wanted to do was play with the book. When she got to the end, she'd look up at me and say, "more, more". She worked on the book for 40 minutes, telling us the name of the characters, imitating the 'hula dancing girls' from IASW, pointing out "Buzz LIghtyear", etc. Woo Hoo!! all that time and effort...worthwhile!

So DD really just needed to experience Disney first in order to enjoy the book more!
