Disneyland - Playing with Pluto

Needless to say - there were other parts of the Disneyland vacation that didn't get photographed (or at least photographed well) but are stil worthy of mention - Turtle Talke with Crush (my next blog entry), and the night we played with Pluto.

After our first long day at Disneyland, we stumbled across Pluto while leaving the park. Since Braden LOVED the characters, he started giggling almost instantly. In no time at all he and Pluto had developed a game where Braden would put his hand in Pluto's mouth and then both of them would laugh hysterically (albiet silently on the part of Pluto). After a few minutes we told Braden that it was time for other kids in the now growing line to have a chance to see Pluto as well. We grabbed his hand to pull him away and someone had a fit. Was it Braden? No - it was Pluto! He must have been infected by Braden's contageous laugh - because he kept pulling Braden back and begging for Braden to keep playing with him. It took us several minutes to convince Pluto that he NEEDED (perhaps because it was his JOB) to give attention to the other kids as well. Needless to say, Pluto is now Braden's favorite Disney character!
