Disney Trip 2015: Part 7 Some Missed Videos

I just can't stop posting stuff! I found some videos that I missed posting.  They are long but worth it.


These are the videos that show up on your Photopass if you have Magic Bands.  There are two videos of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (one with Mama and one with Dada) and one video of the Hollywood Tower of Terror.  The video for the Mine Train was really long.  It's nearly the whole ride but the video kept messing up with the sound so I cut it down quite a bit.  The Tower of Terror is the whole video. His face is the best.  You can see fear then he starts to be okay with the ride and just when he starts feeling okay about it, then comes the drop.  Too funny.  He was pretty proud of himself for being brave enough to go on that ride but we could not convince him to go on it again. 


This is a video of Charlotte singing on the way home from the park one night.  She LOVES to sing.  I think it was after  meeting Aurora because she's singing Once Upon a Dream from Sleeping Beauty.  Then as a encore she breaks into Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  What a funny little lady. 

Tommy Auditions for American Idol

I asked Tommy to sing his ABC's and he took it to the next level.



He sang his ABC's, Old MacDonald's Farm, and Baby Beluga.  I love how he had to really think about what animal to pick before he chose a puppy.

He sang the last line of baby beluga FOUR TIMES.  We did not see that coming.

This kiddo likes to SSSSIIIINNNGGGG!!!

Yo Dawg, I think you're going to HOLLYWOOD!!!

Hot Dog!

This video just cracks me up. I love when he carries the "Sooooollllvvveeeddd" note out.  For those about to rock (that would be you, Tommy!), we salute you!

Also when looking the song up on iTunes, we found out that the band They Might Be Giants actually wrote and performed that song (and the theme song for the show).  You might know this band from other songs like "Istanbul" and  "Birdhouse in Your Soul" which are the 2nd and 4th most popular downloads from the band where Hot Dog! and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Theme are 1st and 3rd respectively.

So kids, if you want your band to be famous, you're going to need to start writing theme songs for shows and songs with food in the title.

21 Months: Look at Him, He's Talking

Tommy is 1.75 years old. Actually a little older but I'm just now getting this posted.  It is crazy how much he has changed in 3 months.  It feels like he learns 10 new words every day.  He is definitely in the repeating stage.  ANYthing we say, he is going to repeat it.  We have to be very careful what we say around him, that's for sure.  

He has become pretty particular about his clothes and shoes.  If we want him to wear something that he has previously thrown a fit about wearing in the past, we have to, as my mom says, "Distract and Attack."  :-)

He's starting to be a little pickier about what he eats.  That is not allowed, Mr. Tommy T.  Your food list cannot get any shorter!

He is obsessed with all kinds of vehicles right now.  Trucks and Cars! He LOVES Mater and McQueen from the Cars movies.  Mater is by far his favorite.

He's starting to look really old.  He's losing his baby look little by little.  It's crazy how fast it's happening! He's going to be 2 soon!! AAHHH!

We've added pretty much every soy product back into his diet (which includes the ever-awesome OREOS).  He's handling it like a champ! One food allergy down, only three more to go (milk, eggs, peanuts)!

He is LOVING daycare right now.  He doesn't even care when we drop him off anymore.  He's like "Smell ya later, Fools!" after he gives his goodbye hug.

They do all kinds of fun activities every day (for example painting with a Q-tip in the picture above).  They're learning colors right now but Tommy is such a genius (Watch out, here comes the Brag about my child moment), he already knows all his colors! I just found out yesterday that he also knows all his shapes (He even knows oval, are you kidding me?).  He has trouble saying square but it doesn't matter because whatever he does, I'm still going to think he's a genius. :-)

He loves his classmates.  This is a super cute class picture that Tommy's teacher sent us.  In order from L-R, Layla, Owen, Tommy and Landon.  Or in Tommy's words, "Waywa, Owen, and Nannan."  Poor Layla, she's the only girl in a class full of boys (and she is the only one enjoying the class pic).   I think they're getting another girl classmate in October.

We also got this picture from Tommy's teacher (who I just found out graduated a year before me in high school.  I thought she looked familiar!) and she included this message in her email... 

I asked them to go get a book and sit on rug. When I turned around from putting papers away they all were sitting like this! So cute! Thank you so much for letting me teach your child...I love them all!

How sweet is that! 

Tommy's new fave thing is singing.  He is constantly asking us to sing or singing himself.  This video is from when we were shopping at Lowes today.  He was singing Old MacDonald. 


I love how by the end he kinda was like, "Yeah I'm pretty much done singing for your little video, Ma."
His other favorite songs are Baby Beluga, Baby Bumble Bee, the Hot Dog song from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and his ABC's.  He will sing his ABC's before falling asleep.  Now they're not perfect.  He needs a lot of help/encouragement. We supply a letter every few letters.  But it sounds a lot like....
"A, B, C,D, Effzhee, Achay, J, K, Enenenno, P, Koo, Arresss, Teeyou, Teeyou, Double... Ess, Y, Zshee" and then he kind of says a bunch of random sounds that he thinks is the "Now I Know My" part and then he yells "YAY!"  He is hilarious.

Happy 1.75 years old to my amazing little dude.
