Namastè!
February 28th was a gorgeous day here in NYC. Crisp breeze and sunshine. Clear skies. A dream day for touring--not too cold, not too hot, and not overcast at all.
Our agile, strong, brilliant, little guy turned two years old. (I guess he's no longer Baby Namastè--Brother Bear!)
As we are in NYC visiting and seeing the things, we decided to set up a tour of the Disney Store in Times Square. He adores Mickey Mouse, so we knew it'd be a hit.
What we didn't know, is how special the cast members would make that tour.
We went to the Disney Store in Times Square around lunch time. We wanted him to be well rested and to have had lunch, so he could enjoy everything. (Toddlerhood can be a minefield fraught with tantrums and meltdowns...timing is everything.) When we got in the door, we were greeted by the attendant, who showed us upstairs to the castle. When we got to the castle, the cast members immediately came over to confirm his information. They even took great care to assure they were pronouncing his name correctly.
The production itself is simple but adorable and oh-so-thoughtful--three cheers and a birthday song. But the Disney Store is magical already, and for the cast members to do this is super epic.
In addition to the three cheers and birthday song, he received a button pin with his name on it and all the cast members gave him high fives.
No trip to the Disney Store would be complete without a treat. Since our little guy is obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, we knew he would want a plush. (I've stopped buying toys on a whim, as our playroom is packed to the gills.)
He had such a good time exploring the store.
For this super special occasion, he got his long-awaited Pluto! I should have recorded the squeal when he realized we were buying the BIG one.
This mama is pleased as punch. We may make this an annual thing. Just look at him! (He was staring at something up ahead. Or perhaps his RBF has set in and he looks like me now?)
Namastè!
