Disney World

Some nights when Will is putting the girls to bed and they are having trouble settling down, he takes them on a trip to Disney World. They lie there in the dark and he describes all the sights and sounds of the park. He tells them about the roller coasters, and then they get on and go for a ride. He points out Minnie and Mickey and all of the princesses and their friends. He talks about the sun shining and the warmth of the day. He lets them actually see the place. If I walk by the room, they say, Mommy, we're going to Disney World...TONIGHT!" I can't wait for the day we can go there and they can see it for themselves, but if you ask them, they've already been.

Aw, that's so cute. We do a similar thing at naptime or in the car when J is getting antsy. We went to a couple of zoos this summer and sometimes if he's starting to meltdown I'll say, "Hey, remember the zoo? When we walked around in the sun, and went up the big hill, and saw the elephants and that white monkey?" etc. Usually he'll chime in and start going on and on about the day we went to the zoo.
