Disney: Day 5, Hollywood Studios

After dancing in a parade with Stich:
Lily: Lilo's dog took me for a walk!!


At the Indiana Jones stunt show:
(Harrison Ford's stunt double enters from a rope through the ceiling, dodges the booby traps, switches the bag of sand for the priceless artifact, and runs from the giant boulder)
Lily: hey! That guy did the same stuff as Daring Do on My Little Ponies in the episode where Rainbow Dash breaks her wing and has to read. Except Daring Do is faster than the boulder. 

(Stunt Doubles for Indy and Marion race to escape Nazi soldiers and a burning plane. I look down and Lily's hands are over her face)
Mommy: Lily, it's ok! They're just pretending. Indy and Marion will be alright. 
Lily: (distressed voice) I know. But I broke a nail! (shows me broken nail; rips off broken nail; smiles at me) But its ok. I fixed it. 

Meeting Phineas and Ferb!!!!!!

On the way to Fantasmic:
Toph: (to Emerald, about Eric and Jarrod) Why are they moving so fast!!? Don't they remember you're pregnant and I'm lazy?

After seeing Fantasmic (which is a live pyrotechnic show):
Lily: That movie was FUN!

Lily: **giggles manically for about 45 minutes**
At 8:30am, finally awake:
Daddy: what were you dreaming about?
Lily: Chocolate dress!! ** giggles manically again**

At Nemo and Friends:
Lily: why are the seagulls so rude?
Mommy: because they are hungry. I know I have trouble being polite when Im hungry. Do you have trouble being polite when you're hungry?
Lily: nope!

Disney: Day 2, Magic Kingdom

After riding Thunder Mountain Railroad...
Lily: why are we going slow now?

To Cinderella:
Lily: what happened to your finger?
Cinderella: I burned it cooking for the Prince. Can I tell you a secret?
Lily: uh-huh!
Cinderella: I'm not a very good cook. 
Lily: my mommy is a good cook!


While eating lunch at Cinderella's Castle, Princess Aurora comes by. She starts talking to Lily. 
Aurora: Is this your Prince Charming? (Looks at Andrew, who is chewing his broccolini like a giraffe eating a tree...not very prince-like...she looks back at Lily)
So...your dress is pretty.


While riding Pirates of the Caribbean...
Lily: I think those are plastic pirates. 

At 11:30pm after a 15 hour day with no nap...
Mommy: is it bedtime?
Lily: not until I ride the boat!...but I'm going to fall asleep on the boat. 
(She did.)

Disney: Day 1, First Time on an Airplane

Today, we left for DISNEY WORLD!!! And as such, this warranted rides on a variety of new-to-Lily public transportation, not limited to but including her first time on an airplane!!!

Lily, Jello and Andrew on the train that circles the airport. 

Uncles Q and Toph taking pity on the children and carrying their bags. 

Lily, Andrew and Uncle Q playing at the airport playground (hallelujah for airport playgrounds!!).

Alas, it was a long day. Andrew made it on the plane before he fell asleep. 

Lily made it until the engines turned on. 


The Pirate and the Pirate Princess

Up and Out of My Throat!

Lily: what are you drinking?
Mommy: mommy juice (cranberry juice) and water. 
Lily: is the water for Jello?
Mommy: yep. 
Lily: I have a Jello in my tummy. I'm feeding it mac and cheese so it will grow bigger and bigger and bigger and come up out of my throat!
Mommy: out of your throat, huh?
Lily: yep. But my throat is kind of a small hole. What if my Jello grows too big for my throat?
Mommy: maybe your throat will expand. 
Lily: (thinks for a second) that's a great idea! It sure is good that throat hole expands. 
Mommy: yep. Throat hole. Uh huh.

I can't even have this conversation with you right now!

Lily: I'm all dressed. I've got my tutu and my Minnie crown and I'm ready to go. 

Mommy: you look very pretty, but your tutu is see-through. Please go put on some pants under it. 

Lily: I don't think so. I don't like to wear pants under it. 

Mommy: I understand, but its not polite to show your panties while running errands. 

Lily: but pants don't match my outfit!

Mommy: I understand you have a very defined sense of fashion. Put on your pants and we can go now.

Lily: (exasperated) I CAN'T EVEN HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH YOU RIGHT NOW! You've made me feel very upset and very ANGRY!

Mommy: (stifling a laugh because psychologist, share-my-feelings Lily is surprisingly cute) I'm sorry you feel that way. Here are two pairs of pants. Take as much time as you need, but you may not leave this room until you are wearing one of them. (Mommy goes to Mommy's room)

(less than one minute later in Mommy's room)


Lily: (in a confidential voice) Sometimes people have to do things they really don't want to do. Things that make them angry. Like wearing pants. Wearing pants makes me angry. But I still love you.
