This picture is also on the 365 Days of Children’s Clothes, but it is so stinking cute, it’s worth repeating.
Preschool Boy got a great thrill when he met and chatted up Mickey and Minnie at a dance party this evening at Hollywood Studios. After an awesome family dinner with new friends, all the conference attendees had the opportunity to ride Toy Story Mania after the park closed. We rode three times and somehow my score did not improve. Hmph.
Not surprisingly, Walt Disney World hosted an amazing event and I was really impressed with every meal and family party. We really had a blast and felt pretty special.
Before the fun this evening, I spent the day listening to inspiring speakers and meeting great blogging friends. Here’s the Whrrl from conference sessions.
The Scrub-a-Dub Car Wash is really cool! It’s a floating little island that comes with 3 vehicles that are perfect for scooping and pouring water. There’s a little track that goes around the perimeter of the Car Wash, a car wash curtain, and a little water squirter to help rinse the cars. There are two road signs on the either side of the Car Wash that change – one changes from a green “Go” sign to a red “Stop” side and the other is a changing car. It’s probably no surprise that this toy is a hit with both my kids. It’s really cool! I like the little details that make the Car Wash truly interactive and engaging. Even the bubble-looking Car Wash top has holes in it for playing and straining water. My son loves to race the cars around and through the curtain and my 14 month old enjoys pouring and pouring and pouring.
You might be surprised that both kids also enjoy the Count ‘n Spell Appliques. These are obviously ideal for Preschool Boy who is working on letter recognition and phonics, but Toddler Girl gets into the action, too. She picks a letter from the tub, holds it up and says, “Aaaaaaa” (no matter what letter or number she happens to grab). The Count ‘n Spell Appliques set includes soft foam letters A to Z and the numbers 0 to 9. We have the rainbow set, but it’s also available in pink tones, and the letters and numbers have different textures to add textural interest. 
I’ve enjoyed the letters because Preschool Boy has a much longer attention span for learning when he’s playing in the tub. He doesn’t realize how much he’s learning when we’re spelling words on the tub wall.
It never ceases to amaze me how much *stuff* we have to pack just to get out the door. I sure hope I’m not the only one who feels like I throw everything but the kitchen sink into the car just for an afternoon on the town. That’s why I get so giddy for multi-tasking products like the 
Want to hear something really embarrassing? Until a couple weeks ago, I was wearing the same two nursing bras and hand-me-down nursing tanks that I started wearing when my son was born in December of 2006. And not because they were all that great. I just never placed a priority on a good nursing bra. And it showed. And sagged. And I’ve seen the error of my ways after pampering my chest with some great nursing bras from
