Drawing Board

Here Madison is with our resident artist Josh, learning to draw a bit. Josh is patiently teaching Madison how to sketch out faces, or other imagery. Here's one example of something Madison drew - it's a picture of Mickey Mouse. You can see Josh's example to the top, and Madison's attempt just below.

It's Madison's first drawing of Mickey Mouse! Okay, so it isn't exactly perfect - but we're more than making up for it today because we've just reserved another trip to Disney World! You read that right: in 42 days, we'll be heading back to Orlando, and to Ye-Ye and Nana. Daddy is already scratching his head trying to figure out how to get to Cinderella's Castle for dinner - here we go again, calling first thing in the morning in order to try to find an opening in order to make a reservation. REALLY want Madison to have a visit to the castle. That should be wonderful.

Here's where we're staying: Port Orleans Riverside. Daddy stayed here back when it was called Dixie Landings. It is a Southern Plantation meets the Bayou sort of theme, which lends itself to all sorts of fun with Madison. We're already considering getting her a Southern Belle costume, and maybe bringing along her overalls for a "Huck Finn" look when we try to go fishing with some pole canes.
