We had the most fabulous time visiting family. It really makes us wish we lived much closer. We have the most caring loving family we could ever wish for, thank-you to everyone who made this holiday so special. Haley was overwhelmed with gifts but I can honestly say that she likes them all. She plays with everything and they were all so incredibly thoughtful. She loves to make tea, cut up her vegetables, Thomas, James and Lady are always in need of new batteries (she even runs them up and down the hallways), the giraffe from the train is constantly at her side, she sleeps with Poh, the Ponies get new beads, and well our new snow suit is the best....we can even sit down outside, it is really perfect.
So each and every flight we take is a little different. I can honestly say that a two year old....really needs their own seat. Even a 1 3/4 person needs their own seat. Thank goodness we had one! It was definitely our most challenging flight to date. The first hour she slept (take off is really too much for her to take), we played for the second hour, and we screamed for the third hour and when she was too exhausted to scream any longer she slept again. So that third hour....well she wanted to go outside...and mommy said "no". We writhered and tossed and thew ourselves at the chairs in front of us and finally we stood up on our chair and howled "away mommy, no mommy" at the top of our lungs for all to hear.....and then we collapsed....I was pretty sure she had had a poop in those last 10 minutes..but no way was I standing up to check and I am pretty sure all those around me were willing to take the smell instead of the screaming. And well she was nothing but sugar and spice for daddy the rest of the evening....she really didn't talk to me.
What can I say.....except get a seat! he he he he
Lots of love to everyone especially grandma (mama), poppa, oma and opa. I know she misses you all.
