Mom and I have planned a trip to Disney with Ellie and we have managed to keep it a secret from her for many months now. Today we decided to tell her and get her ready with a countdown chain. After nap Gramma came over the house. Ellie knew something was up and it would be a good thing.
We let David be the one to tell her since he's staying back to take care of Max. He said something like, "How would you like to go on a trip in an airplane with Gramma and mommy to see the Princesses at Disney in a few weeks."
Ellie's reaction was evenly matched in tone as the proposal, "yes."
I videoed and got not much reaction. It took a while for it all to sync in. It started when we told her about the special princess breakfast and she found out she could bring a fancy dress. That made her to a few jumps and grin a lot!
Gramma helped her build a countdown chain made of princess paper. Each morning she rips one off and when there are none left, we go the next day. We hung it in her room and she's really excited to tear her first one off in the morning.
By the time Gramma left, we could tell it was syncing in. We are all very excited.
