Disney (more specifically Epcot)
^ I only noticed this after I edited it. I suppose it's all fitting since it was his birthday and all. ^
For as long as I can remember papa bear and I hoped to have a "funny kid." By funny I mean a little mischievous, with a healthy sense of humor and a kid who doesn't take life too seriously. Because at our house we like to laugh a lot, we horse around, we're big fans of dance parties and we certainly don't take life very seriously (how could that possibly be fun??). As most parents know for about a month or two after your baby arrives it's sort of a doll that cries a lot, eats a lot and occasionally sleeps a lot (really I do miss those newborn days so, she slept non-stop!!). Then around three months they get a bit of a personality, start to smile and generally react to their environment beyond themselves. But five months, five months is the golden time - you really start to get to KNOW this person you're sharing your home and heart with and it is all kinds of amazing. So it was around this time that we found out that our little angel and the apple of our eye is a complete dork and silly-maker. The faces, the sounds, the clasping of hands and gleeful screams, and THAT TONGUE ohmygoodness!!! This kid laughs for days, yay and clapping are her favorite and she quite literally NEVER stops smiling! Of course we just eat it all up and the level of happy went up by a couple hundred notches at our house. Birdie is an absolute ball of joy (pun intended because she has the roundest face ever, courtesy of her Eastern European mama) and I feel like all my wishes came true with her!
"You never know where your dreams might take you
So keep them safe and sound don't let reality break you
Feel your sweetest memories come and carry you away
Just get lost in yesterday
Every wish, every dream you ever had
Just close your eyes
And it will all come rushing back
Fly away
All you need is to believe and remember when
Surrender to the innocence
You thought you left behind
And reach the child that lives inside
Every wish, every dream you ever had
Just close your eyes
And it will all come rushing back
Fly away
All you need is to believe and remember when"
