SFO

On the go!

 We made it out of LA and into crunch San Francisco  where they of course have a yoga room at the airport. Here is Dek practicing tree pose before we make our way to visit friends and family in the Bay Area.

Tree Pose

The last of Disneyland

 

 

Here is the final moments of Disney. It was just one, very eventful day. Here we are at the Small World ride and then driving taxis in Toon Town. All in all a great time for Derek and he stayed awake long enough for fireworks, but decided to go through and play the Buzz Lightyear Alien shooter game 3x in a row. So when everyone asked him what he liked about Disney the most, he responds, "I liked shooting aliens" which is not what you really expect to hear.

The Mouse Himself

 

 

Now this is the real deal. Derek was totally and completely *in awe* of Mickey. Once Dek realized we were in line to see the great mouse himself, he was beyond thrilled and totally star struck. There was this really cute conversation that happened, where Dek tried talking to Mickey. Something along the lines of "Hi Mickey... pause. How are you..ok, see you later." We had asked him earlier what he might say to Mickey and it was hilarious to see him try to engage the mouse himself. Also he gave a fist bump and high-five, of course.

Dek & Pluto

 

 

Look who we ran into in Toon town. Derek was a little apprehensive, but then he got into it at the end of the visit.

Happiest Place on Earth!

We finally made it to Disneyland on our Cali adventures!
 

Toon Town!

 

 

Part of our LA adventure in December, Derek visits Disneyland Toontown. He loved it, especially Goofy's house.

Happy New Year - Chuc Mung Nam Moi!

For all 3 devoted readers, sorry for falling off the bandwagon in January. We're starting 2014 off a bit slowly with all the cold.

Derek had transitioned to a new preschool and just keeping us busy all around (mostly arguing). Case in point:
Me: Derek - time for dinner.
Derek: Why? I'm not hungry yet.
Me: Looks like monkey is hungry.
Derek: No, he told me he's not hungry yet.

All those tactics I used to get him to do things, now being turned against me. Ah well, we just celebrated year of the horse for lunar new year so here is the little man all dressed up. Finally organized photos from Disney and will get some holiday ones up soon.
