Jack experienced his very first plane ride last week. I had to travel to Dallas for three days on business and I have never ever left Jack even for one night. (He is not weaned and still nurses at night.)
so we decided to buy an extra plane ticket for Paul and have Jack sit on our laps for the trip. Our only cost would be the plane ticket and food for the "boys."
Anyway, it was GREAT!!! We bought new toys for Jack to play with and he did really well on the plane rides (we had one connection so one leg was 3 hours and the other was just under an hour). He screamed a little here and there, but he nursed and feel asleep at some point on each leg of the trip. We were lucky.
He was wonderful at the hotel and was thrilled to be somewhere new with new toys and new sites and new things to explore. Paul and he explored the city of Dallas while I worked during the day and we all reconnected at night. It was so fun to be together away from home...and Jack really seemed to love it.
He was waving at everyone, and even taking strangers' hands to hold. He is not the least bit shy. But because we still have not cut his hair...he has long curls in the back and everyone thinks he is a girl. (His big blue eyes and long eyelashes are also part of the reason). I know that we will have to get his hair cut soon...I just dread doing it. He is so cute....I hate to change him in any way.
Anyway, to day is my first day back at work after the big trip....and it is sad...we had such a fun time....I hate for things to go back to normal.
We are planning a trip to Disney with my sister and her family for this September, so that should be fun!!! It is nice to have had this "dry run" before the big vacation!
