Countdown to Disney & Dreams Take Flight

So sometime in late spring we were contacted by Ronnie's school to add her name to the list of suggested names for the upcoming Dreams Take Flight.  This organization takes kids from across Canada and I think some cities in the U.S. and flies them to Disney World for a day.  The kids chosen are those that are ill, disabled or socially disadvantaged (and no, wearing dirty socks every day for 2 weeks does not qualify you as socially disadvantaged Emma)...We sort of said OK never thinking she would actually be chosen..

To our utter shock (and her sister's utter disgust) she was.  One one hand I am extremely grateful for this opportunity that is being offered; it is an experience that I'm not sure we'll be able to give our girls no matter how much we would like to.  On the other hand, I so desperately want to be there to see her face light up when she gets her first glimpse of Tigger or Eyeore.  Word to the wise: Tigger and Eyeore, you might want to keep tabs on your noses and tails... she bites like a bulldog :)

I've also just realized that the trip is less than one month away and I'm a little stunned that my baby girl will be going on a plane without us and we will not be with her to share this experience.  Lets face it, it's not like she'll be able to tell us about it.  Enough maudlin' talk.

Have a wonderful time Ronnie-bins!!!!!

'til next time.
