"A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes..."

One of Missey Monkey Feet's biggest dreams was realized last week. Daddy and I took her to see the Disney Princesses on Ice! We cannot accurately express what a big deal this is to a little "princess" her age. There were so many Snow Whites, Cinderellas, Jasmines, Ariels and Princess Auroras there, it was difficult to tell one little girl from another. Surprisingly MMF didn't dress up for the affair but her heart was right in it. She did wear a crown that came with a $10.00 bag of cotton candy. That's right folks, ten dollars for a bag of cotton candy! Luckily I took a couple of waters with us and had milk and snacks for MMF, otherwise we probably would have spent our weekly grocery allowance on snacks and drinks there!

It was also snowing on the way there, but MMF insisted that we were going to Disney World for the show. No matter what we said, she never believed anything else. She was such a good girl. Daddy and I were really impressed. She sat on his lap nearly the whole time while I took pictures. We got to our seats around 640 pm, the show started at 7 and let out at 9pm. She went with me to potty at intermission and was otherwise glued to her spot. With eyes as big as softballs she watched all the princesses skate out to tell their stories set to music. I was almost as excited as she was! Daddy reminded me a few times that he was counting the minutes until the end, but he sure was smiling a lot. A couple of times I looked over at MMF to see her waving her little hand at whichever princess was currently skating by as she said "Hi, Princess (so and so)"! When we left she was still so excited that she announced to us that she wanted to stay up with us all night and watch "a little bit of tv". By the time we were nearly home she told us that she wanted to go to sleep now. When we got her tucked into bed she was out when she hit the pillow. What a night. Below are some of the highlights. Remember, "If you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true".
