Frequent Flyer

Rachel and I are currently in MN for a week to visit my mom who had surgery on her foot. It was my first time flying alone with toddler as well as being pregnant. I was a little nervous but I shouldn't have been, Rachel did great at the airport and on the plane. She loved looking out of the window as we took off and landed, she sat in her car seat (which was not the easiest thing to bring on a plane but I did it!) the entire time, read books, ate snacks and sang songs. In fact the only time that she fussed even a little was when my Uncle Gordy picked us up in his truck. As I was putting the car seat in his truck she started to cry, it was short lived though because I gave her "Fannie" (her pink elephant). When we got to my Aunt and Uncles she was a little scared and overwhelmed again but soon got over that when she saw the 4 dogs and 2 cats. After that she was wired and wouldn't take a nap! She spent the rest of the day chasing after the cats and dogs. One dog is so large she calls her bear whenever she sees her...who can correct her the dog is huge and to a little girl could look like a bear.
