I'm a known planner...I plan everything. Knowing that Juliette and I would be flying to KY without Dada meant an internet search on "How to fly with a toddler." I got all the goods...new shiny toys, lollipops, laptop loaded with all her favs (Dora, Zach & Quack, Bubble Guppies and old school Mickey Mouse episodes). We arrived at the airport with plenty of time to run around just like the internet "experts" said to do. I got the juice in the sippy cup to help with the pressure in her ears at takeoff. I got her the window seat so she could look out. I changed her diaper right before boarding. All was going great until Juliette became "that kid" on the plane. Yes, she was exhausted and refused to take a nap. So what does any normal two year old do when they are tired and not wanting to sleep? They scream and cry as loud as they can. And she succeeded. I was "that parent that was doing nothing about their screaming child." I now completely understand how helpless parents feel on airplanes when their kid is just not feeling like being stuck on a plane. We landed at CVG and were happy to be on the ground. Grams met us at the airport and life slowly returned.
Today, we got to Kings Island!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aunt Mandy, Cuz Dill Pickles, Cuz Cauliflower, Uncle Chris, Aunt Cori, Grams & Todd joined us for the fun day!
Life sucks when you have to leave Kings Island!
But oh the smurf ice cream...how I love thee!
On a completely separate note: this is AMAZING! It's Derby Pie in an ice cream form. I really feel awful eating this while Dada is at work all week. Who am I kidding! More for me :)
