Yes, we have survived our first ever family plane trip. Oddly enough, the hardest part of the trip was the drive to the airport. Fighting rush hour traffic at 8am was awful. Of course there was a fender bender and everyone just had to slow down to look. Poor Kulia just lost it after about 20 min and screamed bloody murder the whole way up. By the time we arrived, she was choking mad with red swollen eyes. And we hadn’t ever boarded the plane yet! Thankfully, she was tired so she sacked out on the plane.<\/p>\n
The only odd part was during the landing. I popped her on the boob to nurse her on the way down to help with her ears. We were nursing happily when the man across the aisle leaned over to talk. He started telling me about his kids and recommending books on behavior and tricks for soothing infants. All the while, Kulia keeps popping off the boob to try and figure out where this strange voice is coming from. I’m trying to politely listen to him while keeping my breast as covered as possible and wrestle Kulia back on. I finally gave up and just sat Kulia on my lap and let her gnaw on my fingers. She did great and happily drooled away during landing.<\/p>\n
So far, all the cousins are sharing well and getting along. And can I just say how wonderful it is to have all these adults around? We have four kids and six adults so it’s pretty easy to keep the bases covered. I actually sat down and ate a leisurely lunch today instead of scarfing my meal at a truely insane rate. Heavenly. Truely heavenly.<\/p>\n
Even better, Leina and Sammy took a nap in the same room together. It took them about an hour to fall asleep but they did! We listened in via the baby moniter to them chattering away to eachother. We think at one point they started playing hide and seek together. I just wish we could get a video camera in there to see them in action. They are such buds.<\/p>\n
So we are loving being here. I just hope time slows down ’cause it seems to be flying by!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
