Carsyn does not do well with characters in full costume. Just this past Monday we tried to visit the Easter Bunny...epic fail. She saw a commercial for Disney On Ice a few weeks ago and reminded me often how much she wanted to go. Being that Disney On Ice is one of my favorite childhood memories, I couldn't wait to take her!

So, I shelled out the big bucks for the tickets just off the ice. I couldn't wait to see her little face light up when Ariel, Tinkerbell and the characters from Toy Story 3 skated past. Then, I remembered that she's basically terrified of this type of thing.

Oh my...what have I gotten myself into?!?

As we all know, Carsyn does not do well with characters in costumes in person. We've never had a picture with Santa and just a few weeks ago, we had to leave the rodeo after being there for 30 minutes because of the clowns. So, I know what you're thinking,"You're crazy if you think she's going to take a picture with the Easter Bunny!" Haha! Well, I reaaaally thought this trip was different! You see, I have a picture of her at about eight months old with the Easter Bunny. She loves it! And, for the last month or so, has been talking about taking a new picture with him!

We were SO excited talking about going to TowneSquare Mall and hanging out with the fuzzy little fella! Monday night was the night we'd been waiting for! So, what happened?!? Did Carsyn take her picture with the Easter bunny??

Saturday night marked an event that Carsyn had been looking forward to since we went last year... the Rodeo! Last March, we went to the Muhlenberg Ag Center to see the horses and she LOVED it! She seriously has been talking about it all year, so I just knew that we would have a blast Saturday night! Well, I was wrong!

Really wrong! In fact, we had to leave the rodeo about 40 minutes after being there. Even thou the rodeo clown had been out there the whole show, for some reason or another, she started to have a breakdown about him! And, not a fake fit... an actual tear-inducing breakdown! So, we left. Luckily, there was a nice cowboy on his way in the center who let her pet his horse, "Pistol". In her eyes, because of this, the trip to the rodeo was awesome, ha!

Why did she throw a fit over the clown? Well, I asked her and here's her response.... Watch and laugh!

Well, it's 10:57pm, Sunday night and my three year-old is up... screaming. Sh&t-fit, hissy-fit, call it what you want, but, I'm losing my mind!! Before I even get started let me say that this is all my fault. I'm woman-enough to admit that. But, I've counted to ten about a hundred times in the last two hours.

So, here's the deal... Carsyn REFUSES to sleep in her bed. Now, don't get me wrong, she loooooves the bed. But, sleeping in it is another story.
