First Parade
Posted by Missy Roberts at 10:53 PM About Jake
This afternoon mommy, daddy and Jacob went to Disneyland to watch Cousin Whitney march in the parade. Her band marched down mainstreet and she was leading the pack as the assistant drum major. She looked so cute and Jacob was fascinated with the band. We stayed sitting a little longer until the Christmas Parade came by. I was a little worried that Jacob would get grouchy. He really didn't nap the whole time we were at Disneyland and the parade didn't start until 6:30...but he was totally into watching the parade. There were some cheerios in his stroller tray (which he LOVES) and he completely stopped eating them when the parade came by. As soon as the parade was over, he immediatley dove into his left over cheerios. So I'm going to take a wild guess and say that he LOVED the parade. Before the parade we went to California Adventure. I took Jacob on the catepillar ride (I have no idea what the name of that ride is). Anyway, now that he's a big boy and can walk, I let him walk through the line. Well, he tried, but most of the time he tried walking in the wrong direction. He was walking toward the entrance of the line instead of toward the ride. I think the problem was that there was a cute little girl behind us, and of course, he's Jacob and he wanted to see the little girl more! We finally made it to the front and he really liked the ride. Later in Toon Town, I let him roam around a little playground they have there. He was so excited to be moving around on two feet and tried walking up to other kids his size. It was so cute to watch him go for it. As I stood there watching him, I couldn't believe that was my little baby already walking. It made me a little sad to know that he is growing up, but then I was also excited to see him growing up. I guess I have mixed emotions about him starting to walk. Anyway, he had a blast in the playground there. I had never realized that was there..it's amazing what you discover trying to find something for a toddler to do at Disneyland besides waiting in line. It was pretty crowded today so I really didn't want to wait in the long lines with him. The playground was a great alternative to riding on the rides.
so we had a great day today. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We will be going to Nani and Papa's house. Grandma and Grandpa will also be there, so we are excited to be with our families on Thanksgiving. So until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
