This one will get it's own entry, even if just picture now that I've told the story prematurely. Yesterday, we started a paper chain countdown for our trip to Disney World (in 35 days!). We went to Columbus over the weekend and had to distinguish the "Little, Columbus hotel" from the hotels we've been talking about for weeks that will be our home in WDW. In over a month. Which is an eternity to 2-year-olds (and their mama).
It took 1 explanation for Emmersyn and Hartley to understand the chain. Every morning we take down a piece of paper, and when they're all gone we go to Disney World.
This morning, 930834 times and counting, they have called various characters including, but not limited to: Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Chip, Mickey, Minnie and Goofy. In each conversation, they say, "Hello? [Cinderella]? Yep. See you in Disney World. See you after the papers are gone. Bye!". And no fewer than 4 times already has Hartley gone up to see that, in fact, the papers are still there. After which she proceeds to tell me, "Emmersyn, Hartley, Mommy, and Daddy go to Disney World when papers are all gone. On lots and lots of different days after sleeping.". Hmm.... I think that means she understands. Time will tell.
