Mickey Mouse

So, I've been meaning to blog about this one for a while. Adalynn has a new favorite thing. It's a little unusual I guess, but it sure cracks us up. For the past 4 weeks or so, everywhere Addy goes, a Mickey Mouse Pez (you know the little candy dispensers?) goes with her! That thing is clutched in her hand from sun up til sun down. Mickey also joins Addy in the bathtub! I guess that's probably a good thing. I'm sure he gets pretty dirty being carried around by an almost 16 month old all day!

Uncle Mikey is the one who introduced Addy to her beloved Mickey Mouse Pez. He has quite an extensive collection of Pez dispensers. I think he has around 200. He collected them when he was younger.




Here is Addy and Mikey checking out the collection (notice Mickey in her hand?) :)




Wow! Look at all those Pez!





So... I wanted to show you what a day in the life of Addy and Mickey is like. Here she is taking him shopping in the kitchen.

He goes in her mouth a lot too! :)

There he is. I don't know if you can tell, but Mickey's poor nose is a little chewed on.

This whole Mickey thing started around the time school started back up for me. I think it's a security thing. Like a blankie or stuffed animal.

Mickey had a little adventure the other day! He was left in our cart at Target! Addy fussed on the way out, and I didn't know why. Now I know she was trying to tell me she didn't have Mickey! I didn't realize until we got home. Addy had fallen asleep in the car so I called Target to see if anyone turned him in. They wrote down my info, and said they would let me know if they found him. I figured the chances of that were slim.

So, here's where it gets good. Adalynn sure does have a GREAT daddy! He left work on his lunch and went and tracked down a NEW Mickey!!! New Mickey was in Adalynn's possession as soon as she woke up from her nap, and she didn't know the difference. Not long after that, Target called! They had found Old Mickey! The lady that found him was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She said she couldn't get Mickey off her mind and HAD to find him! So Old Mickey is safely back in Addy's possession. But just in case we ever lose him again... we have a backup! :)
