07/03/2004 Archived Entry: "disney and dodgers"

We had tickets to the Angels/Dodgers game last night at Angel Stadium. So after lunch we went to Disneyland for a few hours before heading to the game. We finally saw Peter Pan again. It's been 2 years and Tabitha doesn't really remember meeting him, she just knows she has because of her Disney Scrapbook. I'm not sure what her expectations were and at first she seemed a bit disappointed, but then I realized she was actually just a bit overwhelmed. After we said good-bye to Peter and Wendy, Tabitha told me "I'm very happy." She said it in this monotone that actually means she was, indeed, very happy. She has two ways of expressing her joy, and one of them happens to be very reserved. Anyway, he'll be there all summer, so we'll see if she wants to see him again or not. She's at that age, where she's questioning the magic all the time. I don't want to flat out lie to her, so I just dodge her questions with "What do you think?" and I also tell her that anything is real if you believe in it and I, for one, think life is more fun when you believe. Tabitha also did a lot of pin trading yesterday which is a huge thing at the Disney Parks. She loved trading with others and we need to get her into the kids only pin trading session that they offer everyday.

When we were on our way to the Dodger game, it became apparent that Tabitha has yet another cold. I simply don't understand why she gets colds so easily. But I seem to recall I was like that as a kid as well, and outgrew them as I got older. But I'm fighting this one as hard as possible. We are not going anywhere or doing anything. That means missing two birthday parties this week, but I don't care. I'm going to make her nap and stuff her full of fruit and veggies and get her over this thing. I don't know what we'll do if it turns into another cough. I don't think she could take it, she was so miserably pathetic last time. I do have my first doctor's appt. Monday, and Tabitha is going, and of course, we were debating about going to fireworks tomorrow night, but we'll see if we still think that's a good idea or not come tomorrow.

So about that Dodger game. Yeah, we saw the Angels score 7 runs by the 3rd. Then we left. Tabitha was blowing her nose every other minute and really tired and it just wasn't a good time to be at a game. We're ready to swear off Dodger games as we seem to be the jinx and they always lose (badly) when we're there.
