The happiest place...

 "Look Ms L.  It's Minnie Mouse!" JI

Oh my goodness!  It IS!  I can see her face, her ears, and...

"Are those her earrings?" AD

"Yes!" JI

Your friends could tell that you were excited about your creation.  I wondered out loud how they could help.

"Let's build Disney World!!" HW

Wow!  What an amazing idea!  I cannot wait to see what you create together!

As I watched and listened to you building I could see the meaning and purpose behind each and every part you placed in your creation.

"This is the water and these are the cups." 

This made me think about the teacup ride at Disney.  I wonder is that is what you are thinking about?

"This is her make-up." JI                             "And this is her lipstick!" CW

Ha!  Nope!  You weren't thinking about rides at all.  You were thinking about all of the things Minnie needs!  Every little accessory had a part and a place.  I could see the meaning in your creation growing and growing!

"This is her closet." JI

Of course!  Every mouse dreams of such a fabulous closet!

"We can add this basket and when she uses her make up this can be the trash can." JI

"How can I help?" AD

"These are alllllll her friends!  You can can help!  Eeeeeeeeeeverybody can help!" JI

"These are the movie theaters.  I put them there." HW

"This is the dance floor." 

"I made a Minnie Mouse world and HW came over and put all this stuff with me!" JI

"Can I play?" JB

"We are not playing, we are DECORATING!" JI

After all of this decorating we finally got to invite the PEOPLE in!

Welcome to Minnie Mouse Land!

"This is me!"    "And this is ME!"     "This is mommy!"     "This is my daddy."

It truly is the Happiest Place on Earth!
