Thomas didn't have preschool today (teachers are prepping for next week's conferences) so we had planned to spend the day at Disney's California Adventure Park with a college girlfriend and her boys. However, our little friend hit his chin near the park's entrance on a concrete bench and split it open. Ouch! Soon after, we realized he probably needed to go see a doctor (I now know what a 5 stitch wound looks like). Needless to say, Sofie and the boys weren't able to stay long so the kids and I spent the rest of the day on our own.

During today's 4+ hour visit, we saw over a dozen costumed characters throughout the park. And they weren't super busy today so the lines to meet them were very short, if there was even a line at all. Crazy! However, our sweet boy who used to run to costumed characters and practically had to be pulled away is no longer interested in them. Mickey Mouse? "Nah, I don't want to say hi to him." Mr. and Mrs. Incredible? "No, I don't want to say hi. I just wanted to see them." Woody from Toy Story? Pluto? Goofy? Donald Duck? Chip & Dale? Lilo and Stitch? Brother Bear and his sidekick? "No" was what I heard every single time. And he always said it like he was too cool for that character or he was too old for this character. It was the craziest thing, but he's also really been into Spiderman so maybe he is beyond Disney/Pixar characters now. Meredith, true to history, likes to look but doesn't want to go anywhere near the characters. I still snapped a lot of photos of the characters we saw, but they were all with someone else's child(ren).
