Bibou's birthday with Disney

It's Bibou's actual birthday today, and though we'd celebrated her birthday with Kong kong and Mah mah last week with a big birthday party, we thought we'd go and have some fun today seeing the weather wasn't too miserable (cloudy and around 19 degrees centigrade). So we too off for Cafe Mickey at Disney Village this morning.

However, we got there a little early as the restaurant only opened at mid-day, about 40 minutes away...so we walked around. Daddy had an old baggette in his bag so we spent a few minutes feeding the seagulls and ducks. Reminded me of that one scene from 'Finding Nemo' with all the seagulls calling out 'mine' for the fish. Those seagulls were fierce! But we managed to feed the ducks and seagulls.

When all the bread was gone, we continued walking, skipping the merry-go-round as Bibou felt that they were going too fast (they were going quite fast this one!). We came to an area with 3 huge trampolines, a couple of kids were on it so Bibou saw and wanted to get on them too. So Daddy brought Bibou on and wow, did she have fun. Jump, Jump Jump! It looked like so much fun that Daddy decided to get on too. And boy did he jump and jump with Bibou. She could jump really high and wasn't afraid, no sirreee... she's one daredevil still! We jumped until it was time for lunch!

Then we headed onto Cafe Mickey. We'd told them in advanced that it was Bibou's birthday so they had a cake ready. As we sat down and ordered our food, one by one, we had a whole host of characters coming out to mingle with the diners. The first to come by was Daisy Duck. She was very nice, and Bibou ended up blowing her a kiss too! Next came the shy, sweet Eyore from Winnie the Pooh. Unfortunately, he was a little bit big, and so scared Bibou a little. She was whimpering a bit (fortunately, she didn't cry like the little girl next to us, who wouldn't stop crying for about 1/2 hour after Captain Hook came and visit her table!).

Who else? Well, we had a little friendly 'ribbing' with Mr Mcsee (sp?) from Peter Pan. We thought at first that he was one of the 7 Dwarfs, and started calling him all the names of the 7 Dwarfs.. Doc, Smiley, Sleepy etc.. He 'pretended' to get really mad and stomped his foot and throw tissue paper at us, so we yelled out, Grouchy, Grumpy etc. That was really fun!

Next, we had Chip AND Dale the chipmunks (we found out what was the difference between them! Chip has 1 tooth and Dale has 2 teeth), there was the big ole friendly Baloo the bear from the Jungle Book (unfortunately, he was so big that he gave Bibou a scare). Captain Hook certainly was scary and he knew to avoid out table for fear for scaring little Bibou. Bibou stuck her tongue out at him!!

Soon, we'd finished out meal, and suddenly, the loudspeakers went off and tada! Happy birthday song came on and out came Daisy Duck with a birthday cake (with 3 candles instead of two!!). Everyone sang happy birthday, and Bibou blew out her own candles again. Yippee! She gave Daisy a kiss too. Just before we left, Mickey and Donald came out finally for a visit, but I think that little Bibou was too tired after that and she was a little bit scared. So we packed up, took a nice walk through Disney village. We popped into a shop to get a nice coat, and while waiting for me to pay up, Bibou spent a lovely time... rolling on the floor. While walking through into the car, Bibou played around with the 'handprints' of Planet Hollywood. We soon got to the car and Bibou was out like a lightbulb as soon as the car started. What a lovely birthday lunch!

Oh new things that Bibou can do now, she can put on her shoes all by herself (especially those with Velcro strips). Most of the time, she gets the right side of the shoe on the right foot too. She's gabbering a mile a minute now. New words every day! New recent words now, 'oh c'est partie (it's gone)!!' and we'll get her to repeat it in English 'it or he's gone'. She still loves giving lots of kisses. Every morning, we get lots of kisses. Awwwww. Happy Birthday Josephine.
