Magical Memory
Mondays
____________________________
Time for another great Magical Memory Monday! This week, I'm going to focus a bit more on the Aspie side of things. As you know, our 13 year old, Sarah, has Asperger's Syndrome. Because of this, she has a tendency to think like a younger child at times...not a bad thing...it's just the way she is. Not all Aspie's are like this...just like typically-developing kids, they're all a little different. Anyways, on the last full day of our trip, Sarah had something special she especially wanted to do--she wanted to see the new Playhouse Disney Live at Disney's Hollywood Studios! It's not often that Sarah specifically tells us something she wants to do while we're at Disney, so if she wanted to do this, by golly, we were going to do it! When we arrived, there were still a few minutes until the next show; lo, and behold, Handy Manny was nearby for pictures and autographs! Handy Manny is one of Sarah's FAVORITE Disney characters! So, off we went to take her picture with Handy Manny!
Then, it was off to Playhouse Disney! As you can see, Sarah was very excited about finally getting to see her show (she had waited a long time to do this!)
Allison, on the other hand, was PRAYING that no one she knew would find out that she went to Playhouse Disney Live! After all, she is 9!
Secretly, we think she enjoyed the show, too, but we won't tell her friends at school! Shhh!
I know the days of even Sarah enjoying Playhouse Disney Live and of either of our girls "liking" the attractions geared for younger kids are probably coming to an end soon. My girls are growing up, like they should, but it is still tough for a mommy to see her girls getting "too big" for some of the attractions. This day will definitely hold a special place in my heart...just one more of my Magical Memories to cherish for a lifetime!
Years ago when Playhouse Disney was all about Stanley, PB & J, and Bear in the Big Blue House Tyler was almost obsessive. I thought Dwayne and I were just dealing with it, until one day Tyler had gone out to play and left the TV on. I asked Dwayne who was in the living room to turn it off and he said "Hang on I want to see what happens!" LOL. I think he liked them as much as Tyler. :0)
