When I mentioned on a previous post (see "Princess Dresses Please!" http://jordanandkatelyn.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html ), I talked about how much little girls love to dress up in Princess dresses and play princess. This was very evident on our 7th day at Disney when Jordan got to go to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to get her hair and nails done. She had a blast. They were so nice to her and she loved getting her princess hair done. Cyrs Aigner (Princess Alexa Foundation see http://meandmyzacks.blogspot.com/2008/08/princess-alexa-foundation-update.html ) just posted on her blog a picture of her with her daughter, Alexa, after getting made up at the Boutique in Disney. She spoke about how much Alexa enjoyed it and how it was one of their happiest times. I totally relate to this. Little girls do love it and that is why I like Crys' idea so much with regard to donating princess dresses (or other items for boys) to the Children's Hospital for kids to find a bit of happiness in a miserable not-fair situation.
While Jordan was getting pampered at the Boutique, CHH took Katelyn on rides. He started at It's a Small World and never got to leave. He said every time the ride ended, she would give the hand signal (knocking her fists together) for more and say "mo, mo". He apparently rode it several times but nevertheless enjoyed seeing Katelyn totally enthralled with the ride.
After we emerged from the Boutique, we were thrilled to see Cinderella's step-mom and step-sisters next to the castle. Jordan loves Cinderella so much so this was an unexpected surprise. I love the picture of all of us with them because of Katelyn's face -- she appears to almost be giving the same type of grimace/smile they are giving. It is too cute.
The girls really enjoyed seeing Mickey and Minnie's houses in Toon Town as well.
