Never Tell Me the Odds

The day after Christmas is the day to play with all our new toys, and we made good with that aspect of things!  We spent a lot of time playing Disney Infinity 3.0 today, checking out the new characters and new playsets, and already the feeling is that we like it more than Disney Infinity 2.0.  The deciding factor may have been the Toy Box Speedway, which has a fun Sugar Rush racetrack that Madison likes a lot.  Although her favorite track might be on Tatooine.  Seeing Chewbacca race around in a teacup or Groot in a car from Disneyland - it's a neat little addition to the game.

We did a lot of cleaning up today as well, in preparation for our visitors tomorrow, which involved quite a bit of work actually, as Christmas makes quite a mess!

Madison likes her Princess Pets and the new Monster High stuff she got yesterday, these being her mascots that follow her around into the living room, the kitchen, or wherever she goes.  And she is usually wearing a different costume, sometimes catering to whatever it is she's doing, and other times not.  For example, while watching "Star Wars," she was dressed up like Anna from "Frozen."

Daddy had a t-shirt with Han Solo saying, "Never tell me the odds," and it's been a thing she's been saying a lot.  In fact, she's said it so much that she wanted to see the original trilogy again.  So that's another thing we did today.  And this time, it was even greater - we watched "A New Hope," and were surprised at how much Madison didn't remember from her last viewing.  She was laughing a lot and asking questions again, and just really focused on the movie all the way through.  Han never said, "Never tell me the odds," in this movie though - so we'll continue the trilogy soon.  But the excitement of a Star Wars movie - especially on a nice television set like ours - never gets old.  She was very much into it, as were all of us.

We ended the day this way, also with a reading from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and soon were off to bed.  Tomorrow we're back at KidPak, and tomorrow we have our special visitors once more.  It'll be another full day for sure!
