I'm going to eat my words (probably this afternoon) but I'm really hoping that 5.5 is where it gets better. Over the last week or so (right around when C was home with the flu oddly enough), it seems like something clicked and she has been so much better about stuff like being grateful. IIt got worse before it got better for sure (like getting not just ungrateful, but actually mad when we would get her something she said she wanted, but changed her mind without telling us
), but all of a sudden those times disappeared for the most part. So there is hope!

Not to depress you, but the French have an expression “l’âge de raison” when a child turns 7. Unscientific of course, but did notice that my own child did seem to be more reasonable more often ... until she became a teenager

haha I'm thinking it will just morph into something else any day now. A friend of mine just had a baby and when he asked for advice, I told him that you just have to learn to roll with it. Once you get used to something, something else will happen that will throw you for a loop. Seems like once they get "independent" that just means their attitude!

A good yardstick is to find out how your child is when the parents aren’t around - do they remember to use please and thank you with others even though they don’t think the parent deserves such “niceties”. Years ago, before I had a family, there was only one apartment in my building with children. French speaking cultures are very big on ”politeness” (good morning ma’am, have a nice day ma’am). Anyway, at the time the only kid in the building when I moved in was about 11 or so. Always super polite when he would see me in the entry hallway, or in the neighborhood. So I made a point of mentioning it to his mom when I saw her one day. She was so relieved; she said it was really nice to know he remembered and used his manners with others, because at home was a different story. So I’m sure both A and C have better manners when the parents aren’t around

Tough crowd! He's not thrilled with the Star Wars stuff, A is hung up on an Elsa dress...How many of them got hit with a frying pan?So.... I was really looking forward to seeing N's reaction to Star Wars land. Like, reaaaaaalllly looking forward to it. In my head, he'd have a similar reaction as A has at Magic Kingdom. But when we went through the tunnel and into the land he winced at the crowds. So did I.
A panicked because she didn't want to go on any of the Star Wars rides and once we entered the land she figured out that she'd have to. I tried to distract her by asking her to be the tour guide and show N all around. It didn't work

I was pretty sad that only three of us were going on the ride. If all five of us ride, i could guarantee S and N could be pilots. To my extreme glee, however, i was handled pilot card and so was N. I quickly switched with S for his gunner card.
N: sooooo, what an i supposed to do?!
Me: just drive better than a four year old
View attachment 453922
Right smack in the middle of the ride, I got a call from C. I panicked thinking something bad happened to A. I couldn't answer the phone in the ride though and ruin it for everyone else, so i declined call and texted her "are you okay?!?" She just wanted to tell me they were going into Muppets 3D and just had terrible timing
N: 41%.... Is that better than a four year old?!
Me: probably not
N: meh,... It was okay....
It was clear in this moment I wasn't going to be seeing any magical expressions from N about the Star Wars land
We sat in the sunshine waiting for the girls to finish their show. Honestly just sitting there quietly watching people going by was one of my favorite moments at Disney this trip. The sun felt so good.
Our boarding group had been called, so when they arrived we started discussing child swap so A could skip one too.
A: you can't trade me for another kid, mom!!
Me: sometimes i wish i could
A: I want to go on it
Me: are you sure, bear?? You've been crying about it all morning....
A: remember the At-At in the movie we watched of the ride?
Me: yes....
A: I want to see the At-At
Okay.... Let's see how this goes... Off we went, back to Batuu

I was getting kinda hungry, but we had decided to ride Rise and then get lunch. We scanned in and started walking through the Rise of the Resistance queue at just past 11. The pace pretty swift, until it wasn't. When we got where the line snaked through a cave like "room" the pace slowed to a crawl. We got to the last bend and the line stopped entirely. The ride had broken down.
Luckily, we were next to a wall that had a stone bench so we were able to sit. A passed the time by watching music videos on my phone

There was a collective groan as cast members emerged with trays of water and snacks, and people began sitting and settling in for the long haul. This was extra sucky for me because i cannot stand bananas. I can't stand the smell of bananas, it makes me sick. They passed out chips and cookies and... BananasBut here's thing, after all these people ate their smelly bananas, they had nowhere to put the smelly peels!! Nobody came back through with a trash bag to collect them. Between the smell and the drums in my head, I was starting to feel very, very sick. A offered to snuggle me to make me feel better, which was sweet ❤❤

After about a half hour, the line started moving and we got kinda excited!! But it was a false alarm
Every time the line stopped, I closed my eyes and stood as still as I could. N kept having to tap me when it was time to walk again. I could feel my body shutting down. At 12:30 we finally reached the first preshow
View attachment 453948
A was still adamant she wanted to ride so we didn't have to use the chicken exit. Shortly after 12:45 we boarded our ride vehicle
View attachment 453949
And at 1 pm we were off the ride.
There are parts of this ride that really wow you, and even hard to impress N enjoyed it, but it definitely wasn't worth two hours of our lives
S really needed to use the restroom and I really needed food before i started blacking out, so we said goodbye to Batuu and headed back to the bathrooms by the Muppets (the Royal Flush it something clever like that). C started looking up restaurants the app and asking if we wanted to go places she found reservation times for, but I couldn't. My body was shutting down. I was losing the ability to human. I saw PizzaRizzo and made an executive decision
Not sure if this lends to your banana sickness - but have you noticed that they make kids breath smell like a green-leafed illegal substance? We thought it was just a weird chemical interaction with our daughter's mouth, but now it happens with our son too. It's so weird, and potent that it's just gross!

I didn’t know that about the finger scanning at the entrance and glitches. We didn’t scan, I was just assuming they wanted to get everyone through quickly, and we glitched.
Cool that you all got put in the earlier boarding group though. Not so good about your long wait while feeling ill.
At least birthday girl enjoyed it, so worth the wait.

How were you able to function with a migraine? Any time I've had one, I had an aura that affected my vision and then I'm throwing up as well. I can't even leave the house when I have one.
