Dear TJ,

I’m exhausted. You’re exhausted. But you have been such a good boy during pretty much our entire trip. You had a few moments today where Daddy and I had to speak firmly to you. (I might have yelled at one point.) But I blame how cold it’s been and how tired we all are.

I want to thank you for being so good. You listened and followed directions. You held our hands in the crowd. You didn’t meltdown when we had to wait in line to go on a ride. And even though you threw up twice, you were such a big boy about it both times. (First on the plane as we were landing in Orlando, then on our way to ride Toy Story Mania after hours.) I’m very proud of you.

Thank you for not making me “that mom” with the unruly child on the plane. Or at dinner. Or in line for the rides. You’ve been awesome.

Love,
Mommy

  1. Way to go TJ! I have to say I was really impressed with all of the kids at the event. Even with the crazy hours, they seemed to be holding up pretty well. Disney can be overwhelming at best for parents and children, but still oh so very magical. Glad you all made it in safe last night.
