Disney’s looking for an influential and diverse group of moms, dads, and grandparents to be a part of their 2009 Moms Panel. The program was such a great success last year that it will expand from its inaugural 12 members to 16. Parents selected to the panel will receive a complimentary 5-night, 6-day vacation to Walt Disney World for four people to help prepare for this program. The trip will take place from December 5th(two days after my birthday)-9th, 2008.

Applications will be taken from 10:00 am Eastern Daylight Time on September 8, 2008 through midnight Eastern Daylight Time September 19, 2008 or when they have reached 20,000 applicants, whichever comes first. Click here to apply!

VERY IMPORTANT RULE: Parents must be familiar with Walt Disney World® Resort and have visited at least once in the last 12 months. - This is the rule that disqualified me, I am C R U S H E D to the GRAIN! Someone please come sweep me off the floor!

If I weren’t disqualified and were chosen to be on the panel, I’d bring Daddy, Jayden, and my mother because she really needs a vacation. She hasn’t any time for herself since she took in my aunt who has too many medical conditions to even list. She’s senile and spiteful, and I’m really being nice putting it this way. She’s more than a handful and that’s all I will say. If I say more, I’d end up writing a novel. Maybe another day…

Sooo anyway I decided to reminisce on the first and last time I went to Walt Disney World. I was part of the high school band and we had a chance to go and work behind the scenes with some of the Disney musicians in May of 2003. Thank goodness for that discounted rate, otherwise I’d still be wondering what Walt Disney World looks like! Below is a little collage of some of the pictures and items I held on to. Hopefully I’ll be able to start a new Disney album in the next few years.

This post was written yesterday, but I fell asleep before I was done. So let’s pretend like today is yesterday, ok?

It’s hard to believe our little booger is 3 months old today. He’s getting so BIG! He’s 13.8lbs! Before I know it, he’ll be towering over me! Now let’s see…he’s got a pretty large appetite. He Nurses less than every 2 hours. He puts my boobs in a chokehold! He sleeps wild! He kicks and flings his arms everywhere! He so strong! He’s mastered grabbing. He’ll snatch anything that you put in his face. He enjoys tugging on my clothes. He finds amusement in staring at his hands. He is very vocal. He will babble infantspeak nonstop. When I’m on the phone, he HAS to be in on the entire conversation! He enjoys watching us tinker on our computers. Uh oh could he be a future blogger?! He demands attention. If he could do this, he would! He appreciates getting his diaper changed. There’s no stopping those little beefy legs once he hits the changing table! He’s got the teething munchies. He must chew on EVERYTHING, including my arms! His eczema has improved and his complexion is getting lighter. Overall he is doing great. I can’t get enough of squeezing his chunky thighs and kissing his button nose 9256785234 times a day!

Today was a fun day. I popped in the Disney CDs and recorded some videos of Jayden. Below are some clips with a few hilarious surprises! [edit]HE FARTS![/edit] The visual isn’t all that crisp, but I’m thankful that it only took 10 minutes to upload vs overnight! I’ve been trying some new things with our camera software, still looking for more software for $FREE.99.

The CD featured in this video is Disney Music Block Party. The songs played are Mickey Mouse Club March by Ralph’s World and The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room by Wayne Brady. As you can see, we couldn’t get enough of Tiki Room! Block Party is 1 of the five CD’s sent from Mom Central for us to review. The other titles are Imagination Movers: Juice Box Heroes, They Might Be Giants: Here Comes the 123s, Choo-Choo Soul, and Ralph’s World: The Rhyming Circus. My favorites were (I can’t speak for Jayden) Disney Music Block Party and They Might Be Giants: Here Comes the 123s. Disney Music Block Party features classic Disney songs sung by Playhouse Disney artists. I can definitely relate to this album as I grew up singing these songs.They Might Be Giants: Here Comes the 123s features songs that are ALL number themed with the exception of the bonus Playhouse Disney favorite tracks. I love the concept, who doesn’t love products that encourage learning? The other albums are great too. I’m just not familiar with the songs, as I don’t watch the shows. I’m PRETTY sure Jayden will help me out later on down the road! Each title except Imagination Movers: Juice Box Heroes either includes bonus music videos or lyrics. We really enjoyed reviewing the CD’s. They are a great addition to our family media collection. I encourage picking up a few of them here! I almost forgot about The Disney Music Block Party Live Tour! For tickets and showtimes, visit the Disney Music Block Party Tour!
