So excited to be apart of this show! The 4 shows sold out in less than 36 hours! Kyrie sold 60 tickets and earned himself and 2 friends an invite to the Director's event! He is super excited! They actually sold out so quickly, that they are petitioning Disney to allow Journey to sell more tickets and open up 1-2 more shows! Fingers Crossed!

Nay's hair was all straight today, and I feel like she looks so much like Mia with her hair like this!

Nay's 2 year dr well check! 

I had a lot of anxiety about this appointment because at her 18 month appt, she screamed and clung to me the entire time! It lasted 2 hours because the doctor was late, he had a student(which meant doing everything twice), we scheduled kyrie's well check at the same time, and I had all 3 kids with me! I left there exhausted and sweating! The doctor apologized profusely when we talked on the phone a week later and commented how once she is 3, she will be ok again with doctors! Well, she started our crying when the nurse came in for measurements, but when once the doctor entered, she didn't cry once! He was so good with her, letting her use all of his instruments and trying them on her baby! She did everything he asked, and it was amazing!!! I didn't even sweat a drop!:) So thankful!

Lying down for the doctor to check her tummy!

Nay is growing right on track at 28 lbs(68%) and 35 inches tall(87%)

One of Nay's favorite phrases is, "Let's go, Ducks!" on repeat!

Kyrie dressed Nay up as the mega Blazer fan!
