Legoland Florida

On Saturday, we got to finally checkout Legoland! We had free tickets thanks to Orlando City Soccer. If you went to certain games, you were able to use that ticket to get into Legoland for FREE since they are a OSC sponsor.

The first stop was the double decker merry go round! We were on the top!

While LL and Mr.E hit up some rides, FP and I played on the playground and wrestled some scary wolves!

LL and Mr.E went for a boat ride. FP is an inch too short for this:( She was mad!! We had to watch from the sidelines.

And when you are sad and mad, you get thrown to the blocks!

After a quick lunch we headed to the waterpark. I didn't take any pictures since iphones and water don't mix well. However, we had a blast! The kids both liked the small water slides and LL even went down a bigger kid slide! We liked the wave pool and lazy river! Plus the water was warm!!! I love warm water!!! On our way back to the car we stopped at Miniland. It's amazing the buildings made from legos!! Here was LL's favorite...Kennedy Space Center!

Legoland is the perfect park for the 4-9 year old range! The rides are fun and not scary. The wait is not long to get on them. And they have the waterpark area to cool off. We'll be heading back again soon...again thanks to Orlando City Soccer :)

The Kissing Hand

WARNING, THIS POST IS FULL OF TEARS!!

Yesterday the 2nd day of school, I cried!  Why, you ask?? We rode our bike to school and then just let him go.....BY HIMSELF!! He walked right into school like a big boy and away he went.  The first day we walked him to class.  So I knew he was there and happy and taken care of by Mrs.P.  Today, he did it himself...A KINDERGARTENER, my Kindergartener!  Pass the tissues!

Tonight, while putting LL to bed, I reminded him that I cry when he leaves for school because I miss him and love him.  He tells me I don't have to cry anymore.  I don't?? I ask him. He says, "Yes, here I'll show you!" He gets out of bed (which I think is a ploy at staying up later because what could he show me that could possibly make me not miss him while at school.)  He takes me to the refrigerator and points to this.

The first day of school, his class read the story of The Kissing Hand. It's about a young raccoon named Chester. Chester is sad and afraid to go to school. Mrs. Raccoon comforts Chester by showing him the secret of the kissing hand. Chester's Mom takes her son’s paw and kisses it, filling him with warm fuzzies. She explains, "Now whenever you feel lonely and need a little loving from home, just press your hand to your cheek and think, ‘Mommy loves you. Mommy loves you.

So Leo wanted me to know that his *I Love You* handprint is there to comfort me when I feel sad and lonely. Just like when Chester was sad and lonely at school. AWWW Love that boy! He definitely got lots of kisses and love yous back in bed!!!

Kindergarten here we come!!

Little Lion's first day of Kindergarten was yesterday! He was excited to go!!!

AND then he got there!!  Nerves kicked in!!

But once we got into class, he was all smiles!  I'm sure he's going to have a terrific year!!!

Here LL is with his teacher, Mrs. P!!!

I can't believe my baby is in Kindergarten!  I was just holding him in my arms yesterday!!!!
