6:28 – Happy

Jeesh, what a day. First, we made it to Disneyland. Who knew so much went into taking a two year old away from the house for two nights? With all the stuff I packed, we may as well be gone for a month. So much for packing light.

Oscar is still a pretty good traveler, but he’s exerting his independence much more. Makes being in a confined space an absolute joy. Can’t wait to try it on a flight to Dubai.

We didn’t spend a ton of time learning new signs today, but I did teach him “happy”. What else would work here? Happy is signed by making a circular motion with both hands (flat) at chest level, moving down and back up, slightly hitting your chest. He didn’t even attpt this one, but that’s okay. We’ll keep on it.

He’s definitely feeling happy, though. Aside from an expected meltdown when he couldn’t ride Dumbo or the carousel for the third time each, he’s had an extremely happy day. If I had brought my laptop, I could post real pics, but for now all I have is this from the parking lot this morning.
