Rainforest Cafe No More...For A Long While.
Yesterday we went to the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney to celebrate Chinese New Years (we celebrate the Eve at a Chinese restaurant). We went with Fiona's parents and Aunt. Let's just say that that was a crash-and-burn experience. This time Jadon just flipped out. The simulated lightening and thunder and the animetronic animals were the culprits. There was a baboon, in particular, that just freaked him out. He turned his head the other way and had tears streaming and he was just bawling. He kept telling that me wanted to go (except that dinner was just about to be served). The girls got into it too. So the whole dinner affair was like that. We literally chugged down our food. It didn't help that my father-in-law initially told Jadon, don't be scared (before he was scared). So I think that just planted a seed in his mind. Plus throughout dinner, he kept telling him that he shouldn't be scared (almost like a lecture). It's probably a safe bet that we won't be going there for a long long long time.
Aside from that little fiasco, everything else is going smoothly. All of the kids' birthdays have come and gone (hopefully the big credit card statements too). Next up: Valentine's and Fiona's big 3-0 birthday! I think she's like Joey on the episode of Friends when Rachel turns 30. Joey's response to turning to 30 "Why God?!? Why?!?"
The kids are doing quite well. Jadon is consistent in his potty training. Now we just gotta train him to pee in the toilet. We're starting the process of his preschool registration enrollment. Natalie is doing well in her developement. Weight wise, she still needs work. She's waving, clapping her hands, crawling, standing, and she'll even roll her hands when you sing the "Pat-A-Cake" song. It's really cute. Vanessa is walking really well. She walks probably 90% of the time. She loses her balance quite often but it doesn't deter her at all. She claps (sort of), rolls her hands, and I think she is starting to point. She looked like she was pointing at a balloon and saying "ba."

My son did the same thing at RFC. He loved it until the 3rd time we went there and he just freaked out and hid inside the stroller with a blanket over his head. It's funny, my kids go to the Rainforest Cafe website almost everyday, they have the t-shirts, and a Cha-Cha the Treefrog sippy cup and lunch box, but they don't like to actually go to the restaurant. Kids are weird.
