mickey and minnie

Up until recently, my kids didn't know any shows or characters except those on PBS (and of course the movies we have on DVDs). But most importantly, my children had no idea who Mickey or Minnie Mouse were. I want to take the kids to Disney World in the next couple of years and I figured now was better than ever in getting them familiar with the characters. So a couple of months ago I started recording Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and it is now a favorite in this house. At night after we read to The Mayor, he likes to sing the theme song before we kiss him goodnight. Love Bug loves dancing when the songs come on the show.

Tonight after dinner, we ran a couple of errands and ended up at Target. We just walked aimlessly around for about an hour and ended up walking out of there with a new Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse plush toy. The kids were BEYOND excited. Love Bug would not let Minnie out of her clutches. Needless to say, those animals are asleep right next to our children.

If they are this excited about a stuffed toy, I can't wait until they are old enough to see Disney World and the life size characters!
