Crossing the Oceans

Approximately 12 hours to my boarding the plane headed to our annual London sojourn.

It will be a tad bit different later tonight.

See . . . I'll be crossing oceans with Nad in tow. All of her 12 months and 23 days. No M to help me out on a what could be a long 13 hour journey for that lil' adventure seeker/explorer.

So, I have my luggages packed and stroller pimped. A diaper haversack and a pseudo diaper tote bag all packed and ready to go.

It will be an adventure, I am sure.

She was a good traveller when she was 5 months old. So I have been praying for the same this time. (On top of talking to her about taking the plane, showing her what a plane looks like, pointing to where UK is on the globe --> yes, I am all for getting the lil' one all mentally prepared even though she may not understand everything. At least she looked like she had fun whilst I point out to her these things.)

Anyways, I am anxious.

And a lil' bit crazy to attempt to fly alone with a 12 month old.

Good luck and remember, if it doesn't go as well as you hoped, we have all been there. Buying the people around you a drink can go a long way toward making up for a screaming child

so, this is bad mommy talking... christian was fantastic on the 13 hour flight to amsterdam :) and he adapted well to the time difference... so shame on me for underestimating my kid's ability to adapt and behave. i'm sure nad will be an angel!
