I've been dreaming of visiting Disneyland or Disney World since I was a small child. I would like to take Eve to Disney World, Florida in a few years time when she's old enough to fully enjoy it.
I've read an interesting post on a blog this morning, called 'How to get the most out of my Disney experience.' It has some great tips and things that I had never even thought of before or knew about. I thought I would share it with you as it has some really helpful information.

The Be our Guest themed restaurant
Due to this blog I've found out about the Be our Guest themed Beauty and the Beast restaurant inside Disney World. I have basically just become rather excited and have started planning our trip. I know it's crazy expensive and will be a once in a lifetime opportunity, but it's something I'd really like to experience with Eve and Sam. This gives me a few years to save money and plan away to my hearts content.
Disney and all it's schmultz is either your thing or it isn't. I suppose for some parents it's a dream and for others it's their idea of a nightmare. I for one have always been a massive Disney fan.
I have lots of family in America and would love to tie in meeting some of them during this trip. My Grandpa's wife lives in Georgia. I also have cousins in New Mexico, Texas, California and Alabama. I've always wanted to visit the New England area in the autumn, as the colours of the trees look incredible. I'm guessing that I'm being too adventurous and would probably have to make a few different trips. The States are so vast.

Sam and I collected Eve from nursery together last night. As we were signing the register and talking to the nursery girls, Eve kept pointing at something on the table. I picked it up and was told that Eve had made something for Daddy. It was an early Father's Day card. It's a kind of origami style card. The collar moves and the tie is just stuck on at the top so that it moves about. We both thought it was very cute and Eve seemed quite proud of it.
When I go to work now Eve will say 'bye bye' to me and will blow kisses to me whilst Daddy holds her at the front door. There are sometimes tears after I've left, but she is definitely getting better with this.
As soon as she's out of bed in the morning she shouts, 'Daddy! Daddy!' and points at our bedroom door. She is delighted if on occasion Daddy is actually awake and invites us in. She loves rolling about on our big bed and likes sliding off it backwards on to the floor.

Eve is very adept at climbing the stairs now. She is super quick and gets to the top pretty quickly. The goal is always to climb up to Daddy's studio, where she knows there is fun to be had; such as the little nerf basketball hoop, various musical instruments, and our camping self-inflating mattress. Sam keeps it out to use if he is meditating when we're out. Eve loves to jump up and down on it, shouting, 'boing boing!'
Since Eve watched Arthur crawling up and down the steps to our courtyard back garden, she started doing the same. She has since become able to clamber over the door ridge and go outside and come back in with a bit more finesse. She absolutely adores being outside. We are trying to teach her to be patient when it comes to going outside, as sometimes it takes a while for us to get ready. She certainly knows her own mind and likes to try to tell us what she wants to do.
This morning Daddy told me that whilst at the park she went up the steps to the slide and came down it all by herself. Big in the game.
